The new report comes the way of Tom Henderson, the premier source when it comes to Ubisoft. Interestingly, Henderson was also the source of the original report that said the series in question, Watch Dogs, was “completely dead.” Considering Henderson’s impressive track record when it comes to Ubisoft, this was presumably true at the time, but things have clearly changed since then.
Ubisoft IP Getting Second Chance
According to Henderson, Watch Dogs is getting a second chance at life, but the strategy from Ubisoft is peculiar to say the least. There isn’t a new game in the works, nor a re-release of the iconic first game in the series, nor the popular second game. Rather, Ubisoft is re-releasing the third game in the series, which was a substantial flop and killed the series.
The new report does not dive into what the thinking is, but Henderson says Ubisoft is re-releasing Watch Dogs Legion. It gets stranger, though. Not only is the game being re-released, but with new content, new no motion capture, and a new “night mode.”
