Ubisoft is a studio that, despite having its usual franchises, also tends to take its liberties to create new franchises and that is why we recently saw Immortals Fenyx Rising, Mario + Rabbids And till Watch Dogs, which has generated its level of popularity in a modest way. However, the hacker saga took a dip in the most recent installment, Legionsand it seems that this has brought quite harsh consequences, so much so that there will be no more games in the future.
It has been mentioned that several projects and spinoffs of this saga have had to be cancelled, and as we already said, it was the result of the poor performance of the last iteration that came out intergenerationally, and that despite innovating in certain aspects it did not. managed to accumulate decent sales and less green numbers. A well-known leaker has mentioned that for now it is a franchise that has been forgotten by the French, for the reasons mentioned.
Watch Dogs is normally dead and buried. Legion's bid to destroy the projects on the license (not an original Battle Royale)

Watch Dogs is dead and buried. The failure of Legion destroyed the license's projects (including a quite original Battle Royale).
With this information, it is now understood why there are almost no advertisements that continue to give impetus to the franchise, and that there are not many DLCs for Legion after its release on the market, nothing beyond those that were announced in advance. in the season pass. And as seen in the comment on J0nathan, the idea of a battle royale sounded interesting, in which users would use their hacking skills to defeat their opponents.
Here is the description of the franchise:
The Watch Dogs saga is an open-world video game series developed and published by Ubisoft. The series focuses on the fight against the control of society by powerful corporations and government entities, with an emphasis on surveillance and privacy in the digital age. The games combine elements of action, stealth, hacking and exploration in realistic and futuristic urban environments.
Remember that many of their games are available in the current and last generation.
Author's note: The company is known for killing off franchises that don't serve it, or at least it's something that's happening with Rayman too, given that we haven't seen a new game from the latter in a decade. So it's possible that hackers will go to the back burner for a while.
