At the beginning of 2022, Ubisoft announced that "Watch Dogs: Legion" would be discontinued, and there would be no news of the series in the future. Now according to the revelations, "Watchdog: Legion" may be the last work in the "Watchdog" series, and Ubisoft may directly abandon the "Watchdog" IP.
YouTuber JorRaptor looked at Ubisoft's employees, and compared to before, many of the senior developers who worked on the Watchdog project had either left the company or had been transferred to other projects. Especially after "Watch Dogs: Legion" did not get the expected benefits, Ubisoft is more focused on other projects and is ready to abandon the Watchdog IP.
Abandoning the Watchdog IP may be a change in Ubisoft's development strategy, after all, they still have a lot of developments in progress, in addition to the Far Cry and Assassin's Creed series, there are games such as The Division: Heartland, Beyond Good and Evil 2, Black Sails, And Cell Splinter: Remastered, etc. still advancing.
