Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot speaking during the recent company's annual meeting with investors says that Watch Dogs is an important franchise, however, a new entry is not currently in development.
"It is not expected to be put in a creative house for the moment, before it’s potentially remade," said Guillemot (via GameFile).
There have been three releases in the Watch Dogs series with Watch Dogs: Legion the most recent release as it launched in October 2020. The original game released in May 2014.
A Watch Dogs movie is currently in production. Principal photography wrapped in September 2024, with reshoots occurring in the middle of 2025.
