Ubisoft's hotly hyped open-world action game Watch Dogs will not support cheat codes, creative director Jonathan Morin said on Twitter.

"No we did not put cheat codes," Morin said to a fan who asked if there would be cheat codes for Watch Dogs.

Of course, Ubisoft never said in the first place that Watch Dogs would have cheat codes, so it's not as if the publisher had removed them for some reason.

By comparison, rival open-world game Grand Theft Auto V significantly incorporates cheat codes to allow players to do all kinds of wild things like moving around the world with moon gravity or in slow-motion.

Watch Dogs launches May 27 for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC. The Wii U version, which is definitely not canceled, might launch this fall, though Ubisoft has yet to formally announce a release date for the Nintendo version.
