Ubisoft’s ‘Watch Dogs’ Movie In The Works!

Briefly: Well this was unexpected.

Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs is currently one of the most anticipated titles of 2013, and is certainly one of the most promising next-generation launch games (I know I’ll be picking up a copy with my PS4). Today at Gamescom, Ubisoft announced that it’s collaborating with Sony Pictures and Regency Entertainment on a film adaptation of the highly anticipated game.

It seems like both Ubisoft and Sony are confident that Watch Dogs is going to be huge… like Assassin’s Creed huge.

Jean-Julien Baronnet, chief executive officer of Ubisoft Motion Pictures says that “Sony Pictures and New Regency are ideal partners for us. Their deep production expertise and willingness to allow us to maintain a strong creative voice in the film means that we’re on track to deliver a movie that can build upon the excitement that Watch Dogs already is generating as a game.”

No further information about the film was revealed. I’m beyond excited to pick up the game, so you can be sure that we’ll update you on the adaptation as we learn more.

Does it seem crazy to anyone else that they’ve already announced a film adaptation, months before the franchise’s first game?
