After lots of leaks and rumours surrounding Watch Dogs 3, two sources have spoken to Spiel Times regarding the matters. From what they've claimed, Ubisoft will drop a teaser for Watch Dogs 3 around May 24th, revealing some basic elements of the game.

According to our first source, one of their developer friends spoke to a former Ubisoft employee who has worked on Watch Dogs 3. The ex-employee confirmed most of the potential leak to be true. Our other source, a developer, confirmed the setting of the game to be London(which was already confirmed by Jason Schreier), and that they have contacts at Ubisoft, one of whom is working on the next Far Cry game.

From the long list of details leaked earlier in February, the following were confirmed by our sources –

• You'll play as a half-Asian half-English female protagonist named Sarah.
• As Sarah, you'll work for an anti-terrorist organisation branch that deals with cybersecurity.
• Skateboarding and graffitis will be available in the game.
• Lethal weapons won't appear in the game. However, our source wasn't entirely sure about it.
• Like in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, we may have the choice to pick between a male and a female protagonist. However, our source wasn't entirely sure about it.

Wonder how much of this is true or not, especially if you choose between a male or female protagonist. Guess we'll see soon, though. Like the article states, I'd imagine we'll get a teaser and a proper full reveal at E3. Ubisoft really likes to do this.

Also Ubisoft just created a Watch Dogs UK Twitter account a few days ago, I imagine they're prepping for the tease.

It isnt pre E3 without Ubi games leak. :P

"female protagonist"

 

[Greatest Ever]

Damn, Bunnyhop actually did it. No lethal weapons.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Debut teaser that says "full reveal at E3" wouldn't surprise me at all. Ubisoft does it pretty often.

 

[Iacomus]

Excellent, let the hype train begin!

 

[modiz]

Ubisoft already confirmed they wont release any AAA title other than Ghost Recon in Q3

 

[Memento]

Female protag is pretty awesome if true

 

[Meg Cherry]

That's all potentially super exciting. Skateboarding could be a huge step up for traversal, non-lethal is excellent, and having a female protagonist would be cool (considering how solid Ubisoft's past female AC protagonists have been).

 

[Wise]

Loved Watch Dogs 2 so I'm all in

Skate4 lives through Ubi

 

[SolidSnakex]

I find it hard to believe that they'd remove lethal weapons. Unless they're just going to make a bunch of weapons that are just like lethal weapons, but claim that they aren't killing people. Sorta like how Batman in the Arkham games isn't killing people with all the shit he does.

Ubisoft is currently in plans to release Watch Dogs 3 sometime during November. However, keeping Ubisoft's postponing frequency in mind, we might see a delay which shouldn't surprise many.

We can strike that off after Ubi's finance call a few days ago.

Also, hoping for a character creator tbh. Hope that skateboarding bit is true.

Grim-dark neo London here we come! (I hope)

 

[BobLoblaw]

All in. I <3 Ubi.

 

[bunkitz]

You'll play as a half-Asian half-English female protagonist named Sarah.

I am so in.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Please no RPG mechanics. If it can escape that new Ubi trend, this will be one of my most anticipated games of the year.

 

[Deleted member 6730]

If true, god damn what a redemption arc for Watch_Dogs.

 

[Toumari]

Really glad you play as a female. That was one of my hopes for WD3.

 

[Philippo]

No lethal weapoms actually makes me interested in the game.

This is both sad and funny.

 

[Valkrai]

I need to play Watch Dogs 2 but all of this info I am absolutely down for especially the skateboarding and non-lethal ones.

 

[Deleted member 25448]

Just hope it's feels more like WD1 than 2 with the tone.

 

[Indelible]

After how good Watch Dogs 2 was I'am onboard for 3, especially with a female protagonist.

 

[ThroughtheVoid]

SKATE 4 IS REAL

 

[Masterspeed]

Half Asian, skateboarding, Graffiti and London?! OH THIS IS SO UP MY ALLEY!

I hope the English representation is good in this game.

WD2 already had "stun" versions of the lethal weapons, which were functionally similar to their lethal counterparts.

 

[poofynamanama2]

Skateboarding?? DAY FUCKING 1

 

[Zukkoyaki]

I reeeeeally hope the female protagonist and skateboarding are real.

 

[Plasma]

They should at least give you the option to be able to use lethal weapons.

 

[Jawmuncher]

No lethal weapons is good. If they wanna push playing as the good guys and not adapting the stories to your means. That's the best way to go about it.

 

[Deleted member 4970]

All of those details have me insanely excited if true! Just hope they kept and focused more on the pedestrian AI system!

 

[beni12]

Lack of Lethal weapons is Ridiculous, there were best part of the first game.

 

[KoolAid]

Waiting for Schreier to come by and confirm or deny

 

[Rotobit]

I'm guessing the character is part of a government branch entirely so they can "borrow" civilian cars

I'm on board though, so long as they tone down the meme-y aesthetic from 2, which is honestly the one thing that keeps me from going back to it

 

[scitek]

It's hard to be sure about everything when you're just looking over someone's shoulder on a plane.

 

[Linus815]

If no lethal guns, then I hope they actually have a good selection of gadgets and non lethal weapons. Because WD2 was kind of half baked in this regard.

 

[Deleted member 13550]

I'm ready.

 

[blastprocessor]

London...interested.

 

[ClickyCal']

No lethal weapons has my attention. 2 is a halfstep, but they need to either just go one way or the other.

 

[Nintendo]

I hope skateboarding and choosing between male and female turn out to be real!

 

[Deleted member 152]

Glad no lethal weapons are in considering it's the UK. Would be way too weird to seeing them willy nilly without any consequences.

I agree, but at least they are going all in here.

 

[Tengrave]

Was already hyped but Skateboarding pushes me over the edge.

 

[sabrina]

I love everything about that. Let's make skateboarding cool again.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

In before Jason Schreier chimes in to kill the dream

 

[HockeyBird]

Half-Asian. It's nice to see my people represented in games.

 

[Sou Da]

Thank fucking god they actually listened to people regarding the non-lethal weapons.

 

[Hasney]

Just hope it's feels more like WD1 than 2 with the tone.

God I hated the original Watch_Dogs, especially the dark city and the horrible characters. I was hoping a nuke would drop on the city as the ending.

2 was alright tone wise with room for improvement. But if they try and go for that terribly unbelievable edgy and gritty again, I'm hard out.

 

[Mr.Deadshot]

Skateboarding and no lethal weapons? Lol. Not for me then.
Liked both the first and second game, but I always played them the violent way. Shooting was really nice in these games.

Era has a really weird fanbase of people who unironically liked WD1 and think 2 ruined the series.
