Ubisoft Montreal
Ubisoft Montreal continue to develop games in the "Tom Clancy's", "Prince of Persia", "Assassin's Creed", and "Far Cry" series, with various Ubisoft studios assisting at times. These series established Ubisoft Montreal's approach around open world games, a goal that Ubisoft wanted as the publisher prepared for the eighth generation of consoles, as well as dedication to the authenticity and historical accuracy of their products. To continue to expand its portfolio, Ubisoft Montreal subsequently developed the "Watch Dogs" series, with the first game released in 2014. "Watch Dogs" was developed as a modern, urban open world game, but to differentiate itself from "Grand Theft Auto", incorporated elements of hacking and surveillance.
