This is the launch trailer for Watch Dogs, though as we know, the Wii U version will launch later this year.

French magazine Jeux Video has delivered the first review for Watch Dogs. The publication holds Ubisoft’s new open-world title in high regard, having handed out a 19 / 20 score.

One of the folks over on Reddit translated the following information from the review:

After becoming Ubisoft’s most-preordered new IP ever, CFO of the company Alain Martinez has said that he believes the game has the chance to be the start of a major new series, like Assassin’s Creed or Far Cry:

“Very clearly, the priority today is to release the game, and make it a success. Of course we believe it has the power and the potential to become a longstanding brand for Ubisoft, [but] at this stage we don’t have any announcements to make to say whether it’s going to be one, two, or three years. I think at first we have to care about making it a success.”

Ubisoft support for Nintendo platforms appears to be in steep decline. In its latest financial report for example, the company makes mention of Wii U only once, and that’s for Child of Light – a game already available. On 3DS, Ubisoft hasn’t had a major release in quite a long time.

In the previous financial year, Wii U accounted for only 3 percent of Ubisoft’s overall sales. 3DS was even worse – in large part due to a lack of games – coming in at 0 percent. Wii was the only platform to make a decent dent having contributed 11 percent.

What kind of Nintendo support can we expect from Ubisoft in the future? Well, Watch Dogs is still coming to Wii U. A new Just Dance will likely be made for both Wii U and Wii as well. Aside from these games though, nothing appears to be on the horizon sadly.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said during a financial call held earlier today that the company hopes to sell more than 6.3 million copies of Watch Dogs. Given how the first Assassin’s Creed performed, Ubisoft hopes its new open-world game can find similar success.

The publisher announced earlier today that Watch Dogs is the most pre-ordered new IP in Ubisoft’s history.
