For whatever reason - mainly a combination of generic open-world design and a godawful protagonist - the original Watch Dogs simply didn't catch on... whatsoever. Ubisoft's 'the next generation starts here' shtick fell flat on its face, and they were forced to abandon pushing the franchise as the natural successor to Assassin's Creed for two years solid.

That said, the time in between releases has afforded Ubi time to reflect, to lick their wounds, and to get back in the ring. In fact, whilst the original Assassin's Creed didn't receive quite such a pasting as Watch Dogs, we all know how much of a monumental step up AC II was to its original back in 2009.
