Ending spoilers at the link, but the patch added a brief cutscene at the end with a conversation between two unspecified people:

Man 1: How much of this is hyperbole? Has it really gone global?

Man 2: There are new Dedsec cells popping up everywhere. The Middle East, South America, Europe. And not just them. We can't even keep up with all the new hacktivist groups.

Man 1: Alright. Make the call.

Man 2: You Sure?

Man 1: Do it.

Atop their conversation are coordinates that, when punched into Google Maps, lead to the Brixton area of London.

I thought this was pretty cool, hack me if old

 

[lucebuce12]

Second most surveilled city in the world? Makes sense.

 

[MattKeil]

I'd be in for that. Been too long since a good open world London game.

RIP The Getaway

 

[chaislip3]

Ooh, London would be fun.

Give me a protagonist like Moses, bruv.

 

[Chaserjoey]

I guess they weren't too sure if they would be getting a sequel but the sale numbers came back high enough to get a green light so they added a tease. It's neat, I wouldn't mind playing in a modern day version of London, make me feel like I'm playing an episode of Black Mirror lol.

 

[DNAbro]

I shouldn't be surprised a sequel is planned but it feels so soon.

 

[Killer Queen]

I'll be pretty disappointed if they leave the Dedsec crew and Marcus. Some of my all time favorite characters in videogames.

 

[Falchion]

Second most surveilled city in the world? Makes sense.

Yeah, London would be pretty sweet for a third game.

 

[Cardon]

Nice location if true. Though, I just hope Marcus makes a cameo since I really digged his character and overall performance.

 

[vypek]

Pretty cool

 

[Certinty]

London would be amazing!

But giving the coordinates for Brixton is pretty funny, especially given the type of area it is.

 

[brickarts295]

I'll be pretty disappointed if they leave the Dedsec crew and Marcus. Some of my all time favorite characters in videogames.

I'm sure, they'll make their appearance in the 3rd game just like Raymond did in the 2nd game.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Second most surveilled city in the world? Makes sense.

Yeah, given how much of a hard on our government has for invading privacy and general surveillance, seems like a no brainer.

 

[MechanicalWall]

I shouldn't be surprised a sequel is planned but it feels so soon.

You won't see it 'til late 2018 at the earliest.

 

[stn]

Never played the first two but would give this one a shot if London is done well.

 

[DNAbro]

You won't see it 'til late 2018 at the earliest.

I guess I mean it feels too early to tease it. I can see Ubisoft switching off Assassin's Creed and Watch Dogs every year.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

aw ima miss marcus if hes not sticking around

 

[Chaserjoey]

I guess I mean it feels too early to tease it. I can see Ubisoft switching off Assassin's Creed and Watch Dogs every year.

If it's 2018, then they can tease it now to get people talking about it, reveal it at E3 this year with a release date for sometime next year. That'd be about 12-18+ months of dev time on it.

 

[CalamityPixel]

London is probably the most suitable city for this type of game. Big brother is always watching.

 

[Mushroomer25]

London would be a really great setup for a sequel. It's every bit as techy & mockable as San Fran, with its' own set of fun cultural idiosyncrasies. Setting it outside the US might even give them a good excuse for taking guns out of the core gameplay loop.

At the same time, a Watch_Dogs_3 might not hit until 2018 - assuming Ubisoft just now confirmed the sequel. Developing this as the target city goes through the impact and upheaval of Brexit might result in a product that feels dated as soon as it releases.

 

[trinest]

Hopefully it is more like the first game.

 

[Hazardous Metal]

#BringBackAiden


Fuck the haters, I want The Fox back.

 

[PK Gaming]

I'll be pretty disappointed if they leave the Dedsec crew and Marcus. Some of my all time favorite characters in videogames.

Gotta pass the torch

I wouldn't mind if they appeared in WD3 though

 

[ClarkZuckerberg]

Hopefully it is more like the first game.

Agreed. Not sure what it was about the sequel but I didn't like it as much as the first. The ability to fast travel anywhere from the get go was a terrible idea. It's more of a ME problem, but if I'm able to fast travel instead of drive for 5 minutes across map I'm going to do it.

 

[Elitist1945]

Ooh, London would be fun.

Give me a protagonist like Moses, bruv.

My immense crush on John Boyega says yes. Allow it.

 

[BigEmil]

Day 1 if set in UK. Hope the main character is like James Bond or something doesn't have to be chavvy character if going by Watch Dogs 2 they may go for

 

[robotrock]

give me the great great great descendant of one of the protagonists from assassins creed syndicate

 

[LAM09]

Would be a great location

 

[dcx4610]

Loved Watch Dogs 2 except for all but one crucial moment (Anyone that has played knows). I'm definitely down for a sequel or DLC in a new location.

 

[post-S]

London would be a great location

 

[SexyFish]

London makes perfect sense. All in.

 

[CoolNumber9]

Glad to see this just finished the game last week and it was great!!

 

[The Dear Leader]

Oi m8, ya tryin knick me data?

 

[sjay1994]

Ooh, London would be fun.

Give me a protagonist like Moses, bruv.

Allow it

 

[Compsiox]

They'd only have like a total 2 years or less to develop a sequel. That's not enough time for an innovative sequel to an open world game.

 

[Ashtar]

We need Marcus and the dedsec crew in London but expand the clique
Game completely playable lone wolf or 4 player coop for maximum destruction bring back digital trips but make them coop as well would be sweet.
I can only imagine the huge missions you could do I'm thinking Italian job or fast and the furious level heist taking place over the whole city

 

[Auctopus]

Brixton would be amazing. It's been too long since The Getaway.

 

[CrocoDuck]

Sounds cool. Make "Guns of Brixton" the theme song

 

[VanCityGamer]

I'll be pretty disappointed if they leave the Dedsec crew and Marcus. Some of my all time favorite characters in videogames.

Just curious: is this common sentiment? I found the characters just okay and at times annoying.

I wouldn't miss any of them in the least.

 

[Killer Queen]

I've no idea, I think it's pretty evenly split. But Watch_Dogs 2 is one of my games of 2016 and one of my favorite games in general. A lot of it just really meshed with me, the characters especially. So I'd be pretty upset if they left that behind.

 

[Maledict]

London would be amazing!

But giving the coordinates for Brixton is pretty funny, especially given the type of area it is.

It's full of web designers, graphic artists and creative types. Brixton gentrified over the last decade. Seems perfect for a clash between old and new with a tech background.

Oh, that's cool. Fair enough. In many ways, the light hearted tone didn't work for me and just made me not care about what was happening. Likewise, the characters came across as kind of annoying. But I can see how it went the other way for other people.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Watch_Dogs 2 is good enough that I wouldn't mind a slightly more iterative sequel. Improve the script, cut the crappy forced bits of gunplay, and I'd gladly dive back in before too long.

 

[flaxknuckles]

The irony of you saying that in a Watch Dogs 2 thread

 

[neojubei]

Ooh, London would be fun.

Give me a protagonist like Moses, bruv.

how about 3 protagonists?

 

[Goose_Se7en]

Not gonna front, London would be cool. I thought The Getaway was such a good game when I was a kid. I remember being enthralled by the story. I wanna play that game again.

 

[bonej]

Europe needs some love. Nice

 

[The Faceless Master]

would be sick it were there with a Brown South Asian protagonist.

 

[FarFromAnyGame]

Yes please!! I'm sick of US cities in openworld games!

 

[Icekeep9]

I'm all in for London especially with the surveillance state they got there with cameras everywhere. I hope the game has less, try to get to the top of this building, quest designs. I thought that got old quick. I really like the story in Watch Dogs 2 and the characters. I think they could find a new crew for London.
