Watch Dogs, the impressive-looking game that stole the show at last year’s E3, will be out this Christmas for “all home consoles,” according to leaked marketing materials received by Kotaku today.
Check the images below to see both the front and back of the marketing materials, which mention a quote from G4 about the game being a “truly next-gen adventure”.
All home consoles. Truly next-gen adventure. Could publisher Ubisoft perhaps be hinting at something? As most people predicted last year when the French publisher showed off the gorgeous action-adventure game, this is indeed a next-gen game.
Ubisoft has already confirmed that the stunning open-world game — a cyberpunky adventure that involves a lot of computers — will be coming to PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Now it’s become clear that it will also be on the next Xbox and PlayStation, which have not yet been announced but are expected this holiday season.
But will Watch Dogs also be out on Wii U? Ouya? Shield? “All home consoles” could mean a lot of things.
We’ve also recently heard that Watch Dogs was originally a Driver game. We’ve asked Ubisoft for comment both on that and the console situation, and we’ll update should we hear back.
UPDATE: Ubisoft has responded, and while it won’t comment on consoles or release dates, Ubisoft senior vice president of sales and marketing Tony Key said in a statement: “Ubisoft is pleased with the response for Watch Dogs from media and fans. The game is an original IP that has been created from the ground up at Ubisoft Montreal with inspiration from many titles and ideas the studio has worked on throughout the years.”
