Watch Dogs sequel would take less time to develop

Watch Dogs has taken multiple years of development to come to fruition. Finally though, the game is almost complete.
Many expect Ubisoft to eventually come out with a sequel to Watch Dogs given the amount of resources put into the current game. But if there is a follow up, it won’t take nearly as much time to develop.
Watch Dogs creative director Jonathan Morin told Eurogamer:
“Right now there is no such thing as a Watch Dogs 2. It’s certainly not going to be the same amount of time if we ever embark on such a journey. A big part of it was defining whatever Watch Dogs is. Once you have that starting point, then what becomes interesting is what players want more of – what comes next?
“Especially with the delay we have just been really concentrating on getting it [the original Watch Dogs] launched. After that we’ll see where it goes – I think Ubisoft is showing more and more that they’re willing to take the time for it to be right.
“I think we’re in a pretty good shape. I certainly like the idea of going deeper in the thematics – the hyperconnectivity and hacking in an entire city, controlling a city, monitoring everyone. There’s stuff we discovered by making Watch Dogs that are interesting to pursue. But it’s up to players. [And] for me right now – it’s vacation.”
