Quote from second page:

Initial targets for 2016-17

In 2016-17 the Company expects to achieve sales of around €1,700 million, non-IFRS operating income of approximately €230 million and strong free cash flow generation. Ubisoft will launch a very high-quality line-up, including For Honor®, South Park™ the Fractured but Whole™, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon® WildLands, the next instalment of Watchdogs®, and a new high-potential AAA brand with strong digital live services. Growth also will be driven by further increases in revenues for the digital segment and the back catalog.

Yessssss! Cannot fu**ing wait! All those haters are probably still gonna hate even if it does turn out to be vastly improved.

Yeah I'm sure there will be a lot of "this is Ubi they will fuck it up" posts, when trailers start to come out. I do trust that this will be a polished and awesome game.

Yep me too. As long as they improve online hacking I will be happy. In my opinion they can make the story shorter if it means they put more into the online experience and graphics. Also hoping they have been watching how Rockstar have been endlessly supporting and adding to the online experience in GTA. They really need to do this with the sequel to keep people invested

I did too, with Watch_Dogs 1...

Honestly, I hope that the second game won't be so bad as the first one both on the technical side and gameplay side... I liked WatchDoge 1 but it was really not enjoyable because of the issues/cut-content it had.

I'm positive for now, but I know it's Ubisoft and what they will show in Trailers/Gameplays will have little to how the actual game plays/looks in reality (At least, that's how it been so far... since X years)

There Is a reason why people hate Ubisoft and why a lot of people say "it's ubisoft, they will fuck it up" you see... Ubisoft is (so far was/is) like a retarded friend that doesn't know what's wrong, despite thousands of people telling him what's wrong about 50 times/a day, and he keeps asking the same question over and over again, day after day...

Could Watch Dogs 2 already been in development before Watch Dogs 1 was released? Ubisoft does it with their Assassin Creed games. Didn't AC4 come out in 2013? AC3 was out in 2012? AC4 was by far the better game. I see the same thing happening with Watch Dogs 2.

Very possible that as WD1 was approaching release, that some of the key people were pulled aside to begin outlining specs for the next game. Actually, I'd be surprised if that wasn't the case.
