Is Watch Dogs franchise really over?

Inside sources say Ubisoft may have given up on the Watch Dogs series. This news comes from Tom Henderson, who shared his thoughts on the Insider Gaming podcast. He mentioned that the team behind Watch Dogs Legion felt the game needed more time before it was released. After Legion came out, the developers started working on another project. But that project was later canceled. Henderson clarified that this canceled game was not part of the Watch Dogs series. He also said that the franchise itself is no longer active at Ubisoft.Henderson stated, \"As far as I know right now, the Watch Dogs IP is completely dead. \" He added that while some Ubisoft employees still like the series and even create fan art, the company has never fully committed to it. Watch Dogs Legion, which launched in 2020, was a big change for the series. It introduced a new feature where players could choose to play as any character in a futuristic London. However, the game received mixed reviews and did not perform as well as Ubisoft hoped. Ubisoft is currently going through some changes and reassessing many of its major franchises. The company has not made any official statement about the status of Watch Dogs.
