  • Watch Dogs is Ubisoft's Most Pre-Ordered New IP Ever

    Earlier today Ubisoft announced that Watch Dogs is their most pre-ordered new IP in the company's history. Even more, it is also the second most pre-ordered Ubisoft game ever and the most pre-ordered new IP for the entire industry this year.
    “These strong pre-orders are a clear indication of players’ anticipation and excitement for Watch Dogs,” said Tony Key, Senior VP Sales and Marketing at Ubisoft. “The teams have worked tirelessly to ensure that players will enjoy a top quality game with enormous scope, and we can’t wait to get the game into their hands.”

    “There is massive buzz in all of our stores around Watch Dogs,” said Bob Puzon, Senior Vice President of Merchandising at GameStop. “Based on the current level of customer pre-orders we have received, Watch Dogs is the highest pre-ordered next-gen title to date and most pre-ordered new IP of the year.”

    Perhaps most interesting is the fact that despite these claims, no actual figures were revealed by Ubisoft.

      It's very effective.

      Earlier in the year, we learned that Tencent was teaming up with Ubisoft to create a new subsidiary studio. This new studio, this new Ubisoft, would focus on popular Ubisoft IPs such as Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. The new subsidiary was valued at about €4 billion, which includes the roughly 25% investment (€1.16 billion) from Tencent.

      Watch Dogs 3 'Legion' Leak - London Setting, Play as Anybody ala 'MindJack'

      Let's get these E3 2019 rumors starting off strong.

      In 2011 a game was released wherein the main character could "hack" into
      the minds of any other character and take control of them. The game was called MindJack (pictured above) and, in addition to the unique mind hacking, the game also featured a single-player story that could "transition seamlessly" into co-op. It wasn't all that well received.

      Fast-forward to the present and a hot pre-E3...
