Tijdens de erg zzzZZZZzz pers presentatie van Sony werd even tussen neus en lippen bekend gemaakt dat de game Watch Dogs (die nog geen eens uit is) net als Assassins Creed een bioscoop film zal gaan krijgen. Dit is een goed idee, als het tenminste goed gemaakt word. Want ondanks dat Prince of Persia (ook Ubisoft) bad ass was, lieten veel bioscoop bezoekers deze links leggen. Maar goed, hier is het bericht.

Commenting on the announcement, Hannah Minghella, president of Production for Columbia Pictures, said, "The themes and open gameplay of 'Watch Dogs' lends itself perfectly to the big screen. The game has intense action and adventure, but the story focuses on information and the control of information, which we think will lead to an exciting thriller. It has tremendous potential as a motion picture and we're thrilled to have the opportunity to work closely with Ubisoft's internal creative team on the development of the project."

Watch Dogs centers on Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker bent on revenge and inflicting his own brand of justice after a violent family tragedy. Using all of his skills, Pearce hacks into Chicago's Central Operating System (ctOS), which controls the city's infrastructure, including security cameras, traffic lights, and public transportation, as well as databases containing key information on the city's residents. In the game, Pearce turns the entire city of Chicago into his ultimate weapon.
