Ubisoft is a studio that, despite having common franchises, tends to take liberties to create new franchises, and that’s why we’ve recently seen Immortal Phoenix Rising, Mario + Rabbids and up to see dog Which has created a level of popularity in a decent way. However, the hacker saga took a dive in the most recent installment, troopAnd it seems that this has brought quite severe consequences, so much so that there will be no more games in the future
It has been noted that several projects and spinoffs of this story have had to be canceled, and as we have already said, this is the result of the poor performance of the last iteration that was released intergenerationally, and it did so despite innovations in some aspects. Decent sales and low green numbers did not manage to save. A well-known leaker pointed out that for now it’s a franchise that the French have forgotten, for the aforementioned reasons.
Watch Dogs are usually dead and buried. Legion’s failure killed off licensing projects (including a fairly original Battle Royale).

Watch Dogs are dead and buried. The failure of Legion destroyed the licensing projects (including a quite original Battle Royale).
With this information, it is now clear why there is almost no advertising that inspires the franchise, and there are not many DLCs for Legion after the release of the season pass, which was announced in advance. And as seen in J0nathan’s comments, the idea of ​​a battle royale seemed interesting, where users would use their hacking skills to defeat their opponents.
Here are the franchise details:
Watch Dogs Saga is an open-world video game series developed and published by Ubisoft. The series focuses on the fight against the control of society by powerful corporations and government agencies, with an emphasis on surveillance and privacy in the digital age. The games combine elements of action, stealth, hacking and exploration in realistic and futuristic urban environments.
Note that many of their games are available in current and last generations.
Author’s Note: The company is known for killing off franchises that don’t serve it, or at least that’s something that’s also happening with Rayman, which is why we haven’t seen a new game since the latter in over a decade. So it’s possible that hackers will go on the back burner for a while.
