Watch Dogs is going to become a movie

Ubisoft and Sony revealed during the French publisher’s Electronic Entertainment Expo today in Los Angeles that the Watch Dogs open-world hacking-game series will become a movie.

Ubisoft has another franchise, Assassin’s Creed, that’s getting a film later this year. We don’t know if the Watch Dogs movie will follow the plot of the first or second game, or if (like the Assassin’s Creed film) it’s a story based on the franchise but not directly taken from any game.
