Ubisoft may have just quietly killed off one of its biggest franchises

Ooft. Ubisoft could be about to disappoint fans as it becomes increasingly likely that it killed off one of its biggest IPs while we weren’t looking.

To be honest, this particular franchise has been fairly quiet since the launch ofWatch Dogs: Legionwhen fans felt the final nail enter the coffin lid. However, hope remained thatUbisoftcould pull it back from going over the edge.

Sadly, it seems that hasn’t happened.

Naturally, fans who have seen this tweet, or who had their own suspicions regarding the IPs future, aren’t happy.

Watch Dogs held much promise, and maybe it still does, but whether it can ever realise it seems to dwindle as a possibility every day.
