Watch Dogs movie – release, cast, story and more about the Ubisoft film adaptation

Ubisoft is making a film adaptation of its Watch Dogs game series.

After Watch Dogs, Watch Dogs 2 and Watch Dogs: Legion, the open world hacking series seemed to be at an end. In any case, Ubisoft will apparently not be developing a fourth game. Instead, fans can look forward to a film that has been in the planning stages for several years. Now the finish line is finally in sight.

Release – When is the Watch Dogs movie coming out?

No official date has been set yet. However, filming ended in mid-September. The next step is post-production, which makes a release next year very likely.

Cinema or streaming? Where can I watch the Watch Dogs movie?

It is still completely open where Ubisoft will broadcast the film. It will certainly be shown on well-known streaming services. The only question is at what price and whether there will also be a theatrical release.

Production – Who produces the film?

• Production: New Regency (Yariv Milchan, Natalie Lehmann), Ubisoft Film & Television (Margaret Boykin)
• Director: Mathieu Turin
• Script: Christie LeBlanc, Victoria Bata

The Watch Dogs film has had a few delays. After a domain registration in 2012 hinted at the film adaptation, filming did not begin until 12 years later in July 2024 – and lasted until September.

Story – What is the Watch Dogs movie about?

• Genre: Science fiction, action, thriller

In the future world of Watch Dogs, society is heavily dependent on the digital information system CTOS. The main characters in the games, including Aiden Pearce, have strong hacking skills that they use to fight injustice – for example, gathering information, switching traffic lights and hacking drones. This also means that the conflict between humanity and technology plays a role.

The story trailer for the first Watch Dogs conveys the basic setting well:
