Watch Dogs<\/a><\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Assassin’s Creed<\/a><\/em>\u00a0both seem like totally different franchises, but a closer look will reveal a bigger underlying connection between both of them. Just like Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, Ubisoft could very well be working on one big game universe with\u00a0Assassin’s Creed<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Watch Dogs<\/em>.<\/p>\n

With countless Easter eggs between these two franchises, there are a bunch of findings that aren’t just references or homages, but proof that\u00a0Watch Dogs<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Assassin’s Creed<\/em> indeed take place in the same universe. Apart from the Easter eggs, there are also certain points in the narratives of both franchises where they cross over with each other. With that said, here are ten reasons why\u00a0Assassin’s Creed<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Watch Dogs<\/em>\u00a0take place in the same universe.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Similarities In Mechanics Of Both Games<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Both the\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Watch Dogs\u00a0<\/em>franchise\u00a0revolve around protagonists who specialize in stealth and sabotage<\/a>. Aiden, Marcus, along with all members of the brotherhood possess cat-like agility and hunter-silent footsteps that take their enemies by surprise. On top of that, they can go in and out of a building without\u00a0enemies realizing that something really really bad has just happened. This can suggest that the same training and Assassin bloodline exists between both franchises, and that Dedsec could be the modern-day Brotherhood.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Similarities In Plot And Narrative<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>focuses on narratives where Assassins must take down key officials\u00a0responsible for orchestrating an\u00a0oppressive movement against the people. From the shadows, the Brotherhood protects the people with an eagle’s eye view.\u00a0Watch Dogs\u00a0<\/em>focuses on the same narrative but in a forward age where technology is a central part of everyone’s lives. It focuses on a group of ‘hacktivists’ with a specialized skillset that allows them to steal and tamper with data in the digital age dominated by tech giants. This allows them to intervene\u00a0in human trafficking rings, drug cartels, illegal data acquisition, and so much more. Hidden and unsung, Dedsec also protects the people\u00a0from the shadows. All the more proof that Dedsec is the modern-day Brotherhood.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Data Shows Abstergo CEO Visiting The Watch Dogs Universe<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

A folder in the Abstergo computer in Assassin’s Creed:\u00a0<\/em>Origins<\/em><\/a>\u00a0contains a copy of the Abstergo CEO, Olivier Garneau’s\u00a0<\/i>receipt for a meal in Quinkie’s\u2014a restaurant of the Watch Dogs’ universe. His meal totaled almost $62.<\/p>\n

Garneau’s visit to the food establishment\u00a0is evidence that stitches the two games’ respective universes together into one cohesive universe. But\u00a0another piece of data from Origins\u00a0<\/em>will reveal more shocking events not only tying the two universes exist together but also showing they both participate in a bigger encapsulating story.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Aiden Pearce Kills Olivier Garneau<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Olivier Garneau makes an appearance in Assassin’s Creed:\u00a0<\/em>Black Flag.\u00a0<\/em>On his way to a shareholder’s meeting in Chicago, the setting for the first\u00a0Watch Dogs,\u00a0<\/em>he mysteriously disappeared and never came back to the Abstergo facility. Melanie Lemay also tells the player that they’ve received so many security breaches in Abstergo, leading to a concurrent facility lockdown with Garneau’s disappearance. Emphasis on ‘security breaches.’ The breach was later revealed to be caused by Abstergo’s own John Standish, an Assassin affiliate. Back in the\u00a0Watch Dogs\u00a0<\/em>universe, it comes as a secret to many gamers that Aiden Pearce takes on a side quest where the target is one Olivier Garneau. In\u00a0Origins,\u00a0<\/em>CCTV footage shows that Aiden indeed did kill Abstergo’s CEO.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Albion Might Be The Alliance Formed By Blume And Abstergo<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Blume is the dominant tech company in Watch Dogs. They are responsible for CTOS, the operating software that’s made its way into people’s personal lives through lifestyle technology and even city infrastructure. Blume has always preyed on people’s private lives in pursuit of valuable data. In\u00a0Black Flag,\u00a0<\/em>it shows that Abstergo has received an email from Blume\u00a0asking to be their security provider. This proposes\u00a0an alliance between the two factions. Blume and Abstergo, the templar-owned company, both also happen to be the main villains of their respective franchises. This could indicate a huge enemy alliance<\/a> in future Ubisoft games<\/a>. Look at Albion of\u00a0Watch Dogs Legion\u00a0<\/em>for example. An oppressive security firm run by CEO Nigel Cass. Their logo\u00a0seems to\u00a0be a modified Abstergo logo. That’s saying something.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Blume Is Mentioned By Abstergo Employees In Assassin’s Creed<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

In\u00a0Black Flag,\u00a0<\/em>when the player gets close to NPCs in the Abstergo facility, they can be heard mentioning their dissatisfaction working for Abstergo and planning to work instead for Blume.<\/p>\n

The mention of a Watch Dogs<\/em> enemy\u00a0faction in an Assassin’s Creed<\/em> game further proves that they all take place in the same universe. However, it’s not just the\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>franchise that shows this. Meanwhile in\u00a0Watch Dogs:<\/em><\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Abstergo Employees Are Everywhere In Watch Dogs<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Profiling NPCs will show their name, their occupation, and their salary. Using the profiler will reveal that some NPCs in the\u00a0Watch Dogs\u00a0<\/em>universe indeed are former Abstergo employees. This supplements the\u00a0Black Flag\u00a0<\/em>NPC banter in Abstergo stating that they want to leave\u00a0the company.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Watch Dogs Legion Let’s You Play As An Assassin<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Besides being able to play as everyone, literally everyone, in\u00a0Watch Dogs Legion,\u00a0<\/em>players will also be able to play as Aiden Pearce, Wrench, and a member of the Assassin’s Brotherhood\u2014Darcy. Though her origins are unclear, Ubisoft has acknowledged through Darcy’s reveal that this is\u00a0Watch Dogs\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Assassin’s Creed’s\u00a0<\/em>crossover. This further shows that the Brotherhood is still operating in the far future after thousands of years of conflict with the templars. This could also suggest that the templars may have a huge role in\u00a0Watch Dogs Legion.<\/em><\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Legion And Syndicate Take Place In The Same London<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Both\u00a0Legion\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Syndicate\u00a0<\/em>take place in a part of London that surrounds the Thames river. This could suggest that\u00a0Legion\u00a0<\/em>is not just influenced by the events of previous\u00a0Watch Dogs\u00a0<\/em>games, but that\u00a0Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate’s\u00a0<\/em>story may have a part in it too. This is considering that\u00a0Syndicate\u00a0<\/em>is the most advanced\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>game in the timeline, going as far as World War 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another thing, the main villain of\u00a0Legion,\u00a0<\/em>Zero-Day, bears a strong and striking resemblance to\u00a0Assassin’s Creed’s\u00a0<\/em>Juno. After all, it is revealed that Juno can only exist within information networks across the globe. The perfect target for Dedsec.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Legion And Valhalla’s Releases Are So Close To Each Other<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The latest releases for Ubisoft’s two biggest franchises are less than two weeks from each other. This could suggest that\u00a0Legion\u00a0<\/em>and Assassin’s Creed:\u00a0<\/em>Valhalla\u00a0<\/em>are\u00a0interconnected in some way, and that Ubisoft wants players’ memory to be fresh from\u00a0Legion\u00a0<\/em>before jumping into\u00a0Valhalla. <\/em>After all the connecting elements that have been established, this further suggests that these two franchises,\u00a0Watch Dogs\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Assassin’s Creed,\u00a0<\/em>both form one huge story thousands and thousands of years in the making. From man’s creation to an infinitely far future, these two franchises develop the never-ending battle of order and chaos.<\/p>\n
