5 Irresistible Hints That Assassin's Creed 4 And Watch Dogs Are Connected

Watch Dogs Creed The Assassin€™s Creed series is widely known and recognized for its adventurous romps through varying historical time periods- ranging from The Third Crusade, to The Italian Renaissance, to The American Revolution, and now a golden age of pirating. Each time period stands out from the rest too, both aesthetically and chronically. These sweeping epics are framed in modern times by a device titled the Animus, built by Abstergo industries, a corporation secretly seeking unanimous world control. And while the reception to the overarching modern story is mixed, it€™s simply not going away as evident in Black Flag. Even after killing off Desmond- the series protagonist and vessel for the story arc- Ubisoft pushes onward, smashing together surprisingly accurate history with wildly insane yet engaging conspiracy theories. There€™s something really, really off about the modern day plotline with Black Flag however. I€™m not sure if it€™s just Ubisoft as a creative outlet that is now lost with their own project or if there€™s something far more mysterious going on. It has been directly stated countless times by Ubisoft that there would never be an Assassin€™s Creed game strictly featured in a modern era, and it€™s not exactly challenging to grasp why. You€™re essentially alienating a sizeable chunk of your fanbase because even though people enjoy the overarching story for its rich and eerie mysticism, they don€™t want to play an entire game that consists solely of it. People flock to Assassin€™s Creed for bold retellings of history featuring fictional badass Assassins. What if Ubisoft created another franchise though? A new franchise already stationed in modern times, but one that plays drastically different? Hello Watch Dogs! In this feature, I will be looking into 5 different possible bridges that Ubisoft may be cleverly hiding between these 2 franchises. Sneaky, eh?
