At a Sony Computer Entertainment press conference earlier today, Ubisoft announced it will be collaborating with Sony Pictures Entertainment (Columbia) and New Regency to develop Watch Dogs into a feature film.
The news comes as the most recent and impressive development from Ubisoft’s newly formed film and television division, Ubisoft Motion Pictures, who is currently developing an Assassin’s Creed film, as well as partnering with New Regency for a Splinter Cell movie.
The video game Watch Dogs does not even release until November 15, for Sony’s PlayStation 4 no less, but the title has obviously caught the interest of the movie arm of the media empire.
Earlier this year, Ubisoft announced that Basil Iwanyk and Thunder Road Pictures were also working to seriously produce a Splinter Cell film with Tom Hardy attached to star. Michael Fassbender has also been attached to the Assassin’s Creed film series.
