On May 1, YouTuber JorRaptor revealed that many of the developers who had been in charge of Watch Dogs had either been transferred to other projects or left Ubisoft. The failure of Watch Dogs: Legion may have led Ubisoft to abandon the IP. Even if it doesn't give up completely, in the current situation, Ubisoft is likely to shift its focus, hiding this series for a few years, and "Watchdog 4" may be far away.
In fact, many players do not know that "Watch Dogs" is also known as "Shrinking Dogs", and each one has been cut off a lot of important content. There is even a little-known anecdote, "Watch Dogs 1" once provoked the R star "That Game 5" when it was announced, and did not measure up to punch himself in the face and make a very embarrassing joke. The core player "Windy City Rover" sorted out the truth about the shrinkage of "Watchdog 1" and popularized the provocative publicity accident.

Looking back at the whole series, it is a good deck of cards to play. Although the theme of "Watchdog 1" is a clichéd revenge, it is also a masterpiece under the novel setting and wonderful plot interpretation. The plot of "Watchdog 2" has changed the gloomy style of the original generation, and the humorous and funny hacker squad has also won the love of many players. "Watchdog 3" abandons the single-protagonist setting and changes to the catcher gameplay, and the formulaic task coupled with the lack of protagonist personnel makes people feel the same as chewing wax, and it is difficult to have a sense of substitution.
I don't know if "Watch Dogs" will save this IP through gameplay changes after experiencing Waterloo, like "Assassin's Creed: Gangsters" and "Assassin's Creed: Origins". Ubisoft currently has a large number of games under development, such as Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, The Division, Beyond Good and Evil, Splinter Cell, Blue Sea Black Sail, etc., and there should be no extra energy to take care of Watch Dogs at present.
