Watch Dogs Breaking Records

Watch Dogs Breaks the Pre-Order Records, Becomes Most Pre Ordered New IP of 2014

Watch Dogs

"In an announcement that probably won’t surprise anyone that has followed the Watch Dogs franchise from the outset, Ubisoft has announced that its upcoming hacker game has become the most pre-ordered new IP in the entire history of Ubi.

Not only this, but the game is also the most pre-ordered new IP in the industry this year and the second highest pre-ordered Ubisoft game ever, according the the company’s figures…

That means it looks like - for the moment at least - Watch Dogs is out-doing Destiny, which has also been tipped as a major competitor when it comes to new IPs in 2014.

"These strong pre-orders are a clear indication of players' anticipation and excitement for Watch Dogs," said Ubi's Geoffroy Sardin "The teams have worked tirelessly to ensure that players will enjoy a top quality game with enormous scope, and we can't wait to get the game into their hands."

"We are seeing tremendous excitement for the new Watch Dogs game," said Michael van den Berg, VP of Merchandising at GameStop. "In fact, Watch Dogs is the highest pre-ordered next-generation console game to date. It is on track to be one of the top selling video games across all consoles in 2014."

We don't know exact number as yet, but details coming out of Ubisoft say that the French publisher is anticipating that Watch Dogs will outsell the first Assassin's Creed game; a title which racked up an impressive 6.3 million lifetime sales.

If you've not yet pre-ordered Watch Dogs, don't forget about Game Debate's own Watch Dogs give-away, where you can win Watch Dogs and a handful of other games."
