Ubisoft reportedly cancelled a Watch Dogs multiplayer game set in Tokyo

We recently learned that Ubisoft cancelled a number of unannounced projects, a few of which were different takes on the Battle Royale formula. According to a recent leak, one of these cancelled projects was a new Watch Dogs game. 

A rumour spreading around the web this week claims that Ubisoft was working on a Watch Dogs battle royale game, but the twist here is that it was stealth focused. As a Watch Dogs game, players would try to blend in with NPCs in the environment to avoid being caught out by other players.

While attempting to cloak yourself as an NPC to avoid detection, you would also have to gather loot dotted around a Watch Dogs version of Tokyo. Once geared up, you are ready to go on the offensive and hunt down the other players hiding throughout the map. When you get into a firefight, you'll have access to a number of weapons, from the classic DedSec stun gun to more deadly weapons.

The team apparently working on this project have since been moved over to XDefiant, a new live service shooter that Ubisoft has high hopes for.

KitGuru Says: This game was never announced and we don't really have proof that it ever existed. While this sounded like a potentially interesting spin on a Battle Royale game, it seems unlikely that it would have taken off, as the Battle Royale space is essentially dominated by a handful of established titles at this point, leaving little room for newcomers to break through into the mainstream.
