The famous and controversial developer-publisher Ubisoft just announced silently, in a fiscal year report, that Watch Dogs 2 is coming before April 2017.
This was revealed via Ubisoft’s financial report for next year, which runs between April 2016 and March 2017. That means we’ll be playing the next instalment of the open-world action hacking series before April, 2017. Watch Dogs was received fairly well by both critics and fans, making it not surprising to see it return as part of the publisher’s grand lineup.
Ubisoft saw tremendous success with Watch Dogs so it goes without saying that it will come out with a sequel. It hasn’t revealed any details about the actual game itself or a proper release timeframe. Along with the Watch Dogs sequel, Ubisoft will also release For Honor, South Park: The Fractured But Whole, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands and “a new high-potential AAA brand with strong digital live services” during this time period. But Watch Dogs 2 is the one that stands out from these titles, as the first game was heralded by a very strong and aggressive marketing, even becoming controversial after release, due to “false promises” and “false advertising”, mainly in regards to graphics being dumbed down.

E3 2016 is a good bet to expect the first official glimpse at Watch Dogs 2.
