We’ve got more details than just that though, as Lionel Reynaud, vice president of creative at Ubisoft told CVG about the game saying that the original created a “brand and a promise”.

“There are flaws, obviously. We absolutely want to tackle these flaws and surprise players, and the way to tackle some of those flaws is going to be quite radical. There are parts of the game that will need to change,” he said. “This is quite a high ambition and will require us to develop technologies that we didn’t have for Watch Dogs 1, but this combined with fixing and refining what worked well is probably the way to go for Watch Dogs 2.”
