When will the Watch Dogs movie be released?

No release date has been announced for the Watch Dogs movie as of now.

Watch Dogs debuted in 2014, becoming famous for its innovative gameplay focused on hacking and digital manipulation within an open-world environment. The first game featured hacker Aiden Pearce in a tech-driven Chicago. The sequel introduced different characters and was set in San Francisco, while the latest entry, Watch Dogs: Legion, allowed players to control multiple characters in a near-future London. Each game has built upon the series' central theme of hacking and technology as a means of both liberation and control.
