Jason Schreier, a writer at Kotaku, confirmed that the location of Watch Dogs 3 is going to be London.

Schreier talked about something else as well – he thinks that the next Assassin’s Creed instalment is going to be about Vikings, which would be a bold move by Ubisoft, but we have yet to see how that adventure would be related to Origins’ and Odyssey’s… especially how it was meant to be a historical trilogy. Anyway, we can now more confidently say that Watch Dogs 3 will be set in the capital of the United Kingdom! (However, we have previously also heard rumours about the next Assassin’s Creed getting a Roman setting, which – in our opinion – seems to be more reasonable. Who can we believe…?)

Previously, Schreier has hinted at it in a tweet, and an anonymous post also talked about it. Rumours say that Watch Dogs 3 is going to launch in 2020 and that it would be on the next-gen consoles, with more emphasis on melee combat and hacking compared to the previous Watch Dogs games.

We wouldn’t like to guess if Watch Dogs 3 is going to be a cross-gen title, but seeing how the first game in the Spring of 2014 (after a solid six-month delay, no less…) was not only the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, history might repeat itself, and the same goes for Destiny 3. (We wrote about Bungie’s franchise yesterday – that might follow the same route as Ubisoft’s game.)

Will it be announced at E3? If so, which year? 2019 or 2020? We don’t know.
