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

[Shawn Zipay]

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.
