Even with good ideas, Watch Dogs Legion was not the success expected by Ubisoft, with a title that was quickly sold off in stores and updates that stopped much faster than expected. But the publisher’s cross-media strategy for its licenses continues despite everything, and this is why the universe of the license will expand into a whole new format, that of manga.
After London, direction Tokyo
A new manga series based on the “Watch Dogs” video game series by Ubisoft titled “Watch Dogs Tokyo” drawn by Kamo Syuhei (Gangsta: Cursed) & written by Shirato Seiichi will start on Kurage Bunch website on April 12, 2022

So we learn that a manga named Watch Dogs Tokyo begins today on the Kurage Bunch website, with a first chapter that you can already consult for free (only in the original version for the moment).
This new story places us in the heart of Tokyo, where a company called Bloom Japan is used by the government to change the lives of the population, which is not without sacrifice or hidden vice, of course. The manga is drawn by Kamo Syuheithe mangaka behind Gangsta: Cursedwhile Shitaro Seiichi is handling the script.
We hope to have news of a French version soon, perhaps when the manga will be a little more advanced.
