Watch Dogs 2 Shows Up Online Before E3 2016

Will Watch Dogs 2 be formally announced at the show?

53 Comments

Ubisoft has yet to formally announce Watch Dogs 2, but it looks like that could happen soon.

The publisher apparently sent a "gift box" containing Watch Dogs 2 Ray Bans to YouTube's The Rad Brad, who has more than 6 million subscribers. He posted a picture on Twitter of the case and what could be Watch Dogs 2's logo. Take a look:

Watch Dogs 2 is in a weird sort of limbo where it's been announced by Ubisoft in an earnings call, but not yet in a more official capacity than that.

It could be that the game is finally revealed to the public during Ubisoft's briefing at E3 later this month. The company's showcase is scheduled for Monday, June 13, starting at 1 PM PST.

The first Watch Dogs sold more than 9 million copies into retail, and its creative director has been vocal about what he would like to do with the franchise next.

Watch Dogs 2, if that is indeed its real name, will launch before April 2017, though a specific release date has not been announced.

Ubisoft is also making a Watch Dogs movie. Fans would like to see Tom Cruise play the lead role, but Ubisoft has not made any casting announcements.

If they make even minor improvements to the original, in this, the year of the shooter, this will be my frontrunner for GOTY.....that's both good and pretty sad....I enjoyed FC:Primal, Uncharted 4 and Quantum Break, but by the end of the year will likely not remember much about them (other than Uncharted's graphics).

Booo on 2016!

I wouldn't be surprised if this is shown off at the Sony conference, they had a really big partnership with the first game.

I think, at this point, it's more of a question of what third party games will be at the MS conference. I think Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2 are givens.

Watch Dogs 2? Okay, cool. I actually enjoyed the first game.

Watch Dogs movie? No, no, no, no, no! ****! Why does every single game need to be made into some cringy piece of shit movie?

I'm one of the few that loved Watch Dogs. I got the Platinum trophy and even bought the season pass.

Looking forward to what the new game will bring!

@brn-dn: I didn't love it, but I did think it was pretty good. The franchise has a lot it can improve on and I hope the sequel does that. I can understand why many people were disappointed by Watch Dogs, but it was good and I want more of it.

Honestly everyone knew the sequel was coming. Ubisoft invested too much into creating the series to dump after one ho-hum entry. They need to give us at least 3 more ho-hum entries!

So basically, E3 is like reading an old newspaper. We already know about everything they're going to "reveal" because we've already heard about it long ago.

E3 is pointless. Everything gets "leaked" before anyways.

@straightcur: Seeing gameplay is the most important thing. Having E3 where we get tons of gameplay for all of these new games all at once is the special part if you ask me.

Okay I get how people are mad when a game is bad, but you can't judge a sequel to a game just because the first game sacked, and honestly watch dogs wasn't good but it had a lot of potential whigh I feel like they'll be able to tap into with this next game.

@solidsolo: Because it'll play just like Assassin's Watch Cry.

Watch Assassins Cry?

Either one.

Alright! I like the first one, it feels so corny and cliché (I wonder how much though), I hope they make it better. Grand Theft Auto is being messed up on purpose, but this was supposed to be taken seriously. I just hope their DLCs won't be important to the story and will just be side stories (or, from another point of view)... Well, that, and if they have tickets for DLCs in day-1 boxes, they better not expire (I got a bunch of day-1 editions months after the games released, and the only one that had a short expiration date was Watch Dogs, GRRRR!).

And I wonder which music will make the cut. Will we hear some Skrillex!? Hadouken? Pendulum? Deadmau5?

@R4gn4r0k: The Rad Brad is a streamer on YouTube, Watch Dogs is a video game made by Ubisoft.

Now, I'd like my cookie for stating something that might possibly truly be the obvious to many, but not to everyone! *Opens mouth while waiting for cookie*

Can't wait for this my friends didn't like the 1st one and yet they play GTAV every day I thought this was way better then GTAV from a gameplay perspective they just need more content and a better story with a better protagonist to completely own the open world gaming scene.

Honestly I have no faith in Ubisoft as a company anymore.....it's hard to take anything they did seriously when everything they do is the same fracking thing over and over again just different skin.....If this is gonna be more GTA3 level car handling and substandard stealth kinda interesting hacking, terrible main character and bad bad story like the first one they can count me out....

if they actually try making a fun game I'll be more interested but as it stands screw Ubisoft......they've done nothing for a long time to make me think this'l be any good.....
