Hooray. Cheers for yearly sequel. -_- This game looks more and more unappealing to me.
Any Watch Dogs sequel, whether it's Watch Dogs 2 or beyond, would have a significantly reduced development cycle compared to the upcoming first installment.
Though there's yet to be any official word regarding further entries in the franchise, it's likely an inevitability given how much hype and investment surrounds the new title. When quizzed about this by Eurogamer, creative director Jonathan Morin gave a tease about what form it might take.
"Right now there is no such thing as a Watch Dogs 2," he asserted, before explaining, "It's certainly not going to be the same amount of time if we ever embark on such a journey. A big part of it was defining whatever Watch Dogs is. Once you have that starting point, then what becomes interesting is what players want more of - what comes next?
"Especially with the delay we have just been really concentrating on getting it [the original Watch Dogs] launched. After that we'll see where it goes - I think Ubisoft is showing more and more that they're willing to take the time for it to be right.
"I think we're in a pretty good shape. I certainly like the idea of going deeper in the thematics - the hyperconnectivity and hacking in an entire city, controlling a city, monitoring everyone. There's stuff we discovered by making Watch Dogs that are interesting to pursue. But it's up to players. [And] for me right now - it's vacation."
In case you missed it yesterday, we detailed everything we managed to do in our first five hours with the game. We've also rounded up everything we know about the title so far, including the proposed resolutions for the game on various consoles.
