Lionel Raynaud, Ubisoft’s vice president of creative heeft tijdens een interview met CVG aangegeven dat de nieuwe Watch Dogs flink verbeterd zal gaan worden tegenover het eerste deel uit de serie. De minpunten uit het eerste deel zullen verbeterd worden maar toch kijkt Ubisoft uit dat het niet teveel van de Gameplay elementen aanpast.

Lionel Raynaud had nog het volgende het zeggen:

“We had a lot of flaws in the replayability of gameplay loops and you could feel that the game was a first iteration. At the time, there was clear potential but it was not easy to know it was going to become the franchise that it is today.”

“For the case of Assassin’s Creed 1, the reception was critically not perfect but the commercial reception was good. Also it felt like something that was fresh and appropriate for a new generation. The feeling was good for the future of the franchise, because the concept was smart in the way that it had infinite possibilities in terms of time travelling.”
