Watch Dogs 2: 10 Things You Didn't Know You Could Do

4. Find The Trailer For A Secret Ubisoft Game

You can't beat the marketing genius of including a trailer for your next game inside one people are already playing, and if you travel to where Ubisoft's San Francisco office should be, you'll find it sitting comfortably with some Assassin's Creed movie posters on the front.

However, if you head to Stanford University and seek out the side-mission there (Ubistolen), you'll find a couple of Ubisoft employees complaining about how their Assassin's Creed game trailers keep leaking early. Follow this through and get on top of the Ubi office yourself, and you can hack their servers to reveal another secret game - one that looks suspiciously like No Man's Sky.

Named Pioneer, in real life this apparently was going to be released, but is now being 'retooled' into another product (probably thanks to the unabashed hatred of Hello Games' title). Kotaku confirmed as much from an Ubisoft employee:

"When they decided to make the easter egg in Watch Dogs 2 they didn't know it was going to be like this, so it's a bit awkward."

Here's hoping people aren't too put off space exploration after NMS, and this game can find its legs after all.
