Legion's follow-up may offer hope for the series' future

by

While a new game may not be in the series' near future, a recently announced follow-up by Ubisoft is Watch Dogs: Legion could calm down Watch Dogs fans that the series still has more to give. As the third game in the Watch Dogs series, Watch Dogs: Legion was not as positive as its predecessors when it came to its critical response, with leaks in 2024 claiming that Ubisoft shelved the series due to this performance. But the announcement of a new interactive Audible audiobook is called Watch Dogs: Truth will serve as a direct continuation of the story from Watch Dogs: Legion.




Despite an initial controversy with early trailers for the first game, Watch Dogs series has gained significant popularity among gamers as a counterpart to Ubisoft's ongoing Assassin's Creed series, with both referencing each other through Easter eggs and cameos. But while fans might have been hoping for a new game rather than a choose-your-own-adventure audiobook, Watch Dogs: Truth could still offer hope that the rumors of Ubisoft touting the IP are misinformed. Between this latest audiobook and an upcoming film adaptation, one more sequel Watch Dogs: Legion might be enough to keep the series going until a new game arrives.

Watch Dogs 4 Should Really Shoot for the Moon

Ubisoft's Watch Dogs series has always struggled with its identity, but going all-in on the sci-fi genre might be just what it needs right now.

Watch Dogs: Truth Will Continue the Story of Watch Dogs: Legion


Fixed Watch Dogs: Truth is not a new game, the audiobook still breaks new ground in the format as Audible's first-ever interactive experience, as listeners can make decisions at the end of each episode that will shape the story as it unfolds. A summary of Watch Dogs: Truths plot claims that it will immediately follow Watch Dogs: Legions ending where DedSec has been cleared of terrorist charges and thwarted Zero Day's plans. How the story unfolds from there will be up to the listener, but based on the cast involved in the audiobook, it seems Watch Dogs: Truth can merge characters from across the series.

With Pascal Langdale reprising his role as Watch Dogs: Legion's Bagsley to guide listeners through the story, other recurring characters appear to include Tyrone “Bedbug” Hayes and Yolanda Mendez who played supporting roles in the first Watch Dogs. Also, just like Bloodline The DLC featured the return of Aiden Pearce, Jackson Pearce, and Wrench from both the first and second games, it seems Watch Dogs: Truth will tap into the same creative potential as Watch Dogs: Legion did. If so, then Watch Dogs: Truth could hide more cameos than the cast currently outlines, with the potential for the characters below.

  • Raymond “T-Bone” Kenny

Watching Dogs may still have potential with movies and audiobooks

Coincidentally, the announcement of Watch Dogs: Truth couldn't have come at a better time as earlier this year Ubisoft confirmed via social media that filming had been completed for the franchise's long-awaited film adaptation.

With an estimated release date of 2025, the momentum took off Watch Dogs film and Watch Dogs: Truth indicating that the series is still going strong despite the lack of new games. But in between Watch Dogs film that follows its own story in the universe of the franchise and the mixed reception of Ubisoft Assassin's Creed film adaptation has been received, fans may still want express assurance that Watch Dogs' game has not been retired.


Watch Dogs: Legion Follow-Up Could Tide Players Over Until the Next Game

Given that the upcoming Watch Dogs The film is predicted to feature original characters and stories Watch Dogs: Truth may be the closest continuation to the stream Watch Dogs canon in gaming. Even with the futuristic setting that departs from the present Watch Dogs and Watch Dogs 2, Watch Dogs: Truth can still offer an experience close to the original games for fans as they await information on new ones Watch Dogs game. But with Ubisoft focused on the likes of Assassin's Creed: Shadows, fans should keep expectations realistic for potential Watch Dogs announcements anytime soon.
