We have some great news for fans of the Watch Dogs franchise. It finally looks like we're going to get Watch Dogs 3. This isn't a total surprise. In November 2018, Ubisoft filed a new trademark for the term Watch Dogs, meaning they had plans for the franchise in the future.
Watch Dogs 3 was leaked via a post on the website Fireden's forums. The post claimed that both Watch Dogs 3 and the next Assassin's Creed game Assassin's Creed Legion are in development. The post also said that WD3 would be Ubisoft's 2019 release since there will be no AC game coming out this year, which was announced last year itself. There were a lot more details in the post and you can take a look at its contents below:
- No new AC game in 2019. This year is Watch_Dogs 3.
- Watch dogs 3 will be set in London
- Focus more on smaller firearms and knives for combat with a larger emphasis on hacking
- New Character. Can choose male or female (like Far Cry 5), but same story.
- Next Assassins Creed is codenamed Legion in 2020 on current and next gen
- Set in Italy at the end of reign of Marcus Aurelius (guy from Gladiator) and during the struggles of his son Commodus and the year of 5 emperors
- Play as Cassius or Lucia, a descendent of characters from Origins and Odyssey
- Unclear which is canon, but like odyssey features choices and heavy RPG elements and same story for both characters.
- Made by Sofia to tie up some loose ends for the “Ancient Trilogy” and currently is more first civ intensive than other game.
- Main story is more involved in assassins and politics with first civ and flashbacks to other points in Rome history being secondary. Ubi wants to make it feel more like assassins creed while feeling like Odyssey to make old and new fans happy
- Map is mainland Italy and small part of Gaul and Germania like Libya in Origins
- Revised mercenary and cultist system. Big cultists and main story assassinations have those memory things

So that's what we know. Watch Dogs 3 is expected to release in 2019 and is set in London. If I had to make a guess, I think October/November is when the game could release.
Kotaku journalist Jason Schreier was asked about the rumors on Twitter and he said that he didn't think the AC rumors were accurate but did sort of confirm that the Watch Dogs 3 rumors were true.
