Watch Dogs is a popular video game franchise by Ubisoft, which is known for creating some of the most popular gaming titles like Assassin's Creed and Far Cry. The video game follows a group of covert hackers who use their skills to combat autocratic forces in control of major cities across the globe. The game involves stealth, high-octane action, and riveting storylines, which provide great content for a film adaptation.
