The odds of Ubisoft pivoting its games to a sort of "cinematic universe" like the MCU isn't likely, as interesting as it would be, but it does mean that Ubisoft has limitless possibilities as far as Easter eggs, references, and minor plotlines and story quests go. Other games in Ubisoft's line up feature similar references, effectively linking all Ubisoft games, to a varying degree.
Where it gets more interesting are the references found in other games that could then be linked all the way back to Watch Dogs. For instance, Far Cry 3 features an Abstergo logo in one of the Lost Expedition levels, which means that the Far Cry universe is linked with the Assassin's Creed universe, and therefore, the Watch Dogs universe. Fans have entertained the idea of a modern day Assassin's Creed game in the past, and while Watch Dogs mostly scratches that itch, it could make it feel all the more legitimate. If Ubisoft really wanted to, the connection could be featured as a major plot point, as unlikely as that sounds. While the two franchises referencing each other isn't necessarily new, a descendant of an Assassin is a much less subtle reference and opens the possibility of other Assassins' family members popping up throughout the world. In Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, players could read a note that hinted at Blume's existence in the world, Blume being the security firm featured in the original Watch Dogs, which was one of the game's major plot points. Subtle nods to other titles are fairly common in Ubisoft games, and the two franchises in question have referenced each other before.

Moreover, Watch Dogs Legion features a not-so-subtle connection to the Assassin's Creed games, and that opens up a ton of possibilities.įor those unaware, Watch Dogs Legion features descendants of Assassin's Creed Syndicate's Jacob Frye, one of the game's two Assassin protagonists.

While Watch Dogs Legion isn't Ubisoft's biggest upcoming game, it's still one of the triple-a titles Ubisoft is planning to release in the coming months, and it looks like a major improvement over what the last two games in the series have accomplished, which says a lot considering how much of an improvement Watch Dogs 2 was over the first game.
