Watch Dogs Movie Finally Filmed After 10-Year Wait Best Pic

Sep 15, 2024 2:42 PM

The Watch Dogs movie, which has been in development for over a decade, has officially wrapped up filming, much to the surprise of fans. Ubisoft confirmed the completion of production via social media, although details have been sparse throughout its long journey. Unlike other game-to-film adaptations, like Minecraft and Borderlands, which have generated recent buzz, Watch Dogs has lacked visibility in the years leading up to the movie's production. There are currently no new Watch Dogs games in development, leaving fans questioning the franchise's future following this long-awaited film.

When will the Watch Dogs movie be released?

As of now, there is no official release date for the Watch Dogs movie. Since filming has just concluded, more information regarding distribution and premieres is expected to be announced in the near future.

Watch Dogs, originally launched in 2014, is an action-adventure game series by Ubisoft that focuses on hacker culture and surveillance. The franchise takes place in a fictionalized version of modern cities where players control characters who use their hacking skills to fight against corrupt organizations and protect citizens from the invasive technology. The series has garnered a dedicated fan base and has undergone multiple iterations, with 'Watch Dogs: Legion' being the latest title launched in 2020. Fans hope that the movie will reignite interest in the series and lead to new game developments.

It’s great to see the Watch Dogs movie finally wrapping up production after so long, but it’s a bit concerning that there aren’t any new games in the pipeline. I hope the film does enough to spark interest in the franchise again because, let's be real, we could use more of that hacker action in our lives
