In a day already brimming with E3 leaks, the release date for Watch_Dogs 2 -- Ubisoft's anticipated stealth-action sequel -- has just been revealed.

As indicated by the above image, a site banner over on IGN shows a release date of November 15th, 2016. It appears to have been uploaded a day early before the world reveal of Watch Dogs 2 on June 8th. Clicking the banner link directs the user right to Ubisoft's main website for the game where a countdown clock ticks down to the inevitable reveal trailer.

Not much else can be gleamed from this leak, although we do have a clearer look at the protagonist of the game, who doesn't look anything like the first game's Aiden Pierce. There appears to be a stronger emphasis on graffiti judging from the artwork on either side. It's already been announced that Watch Dogs 2 will be set in San Fransisco.

We'll no doubt have more information on Watch Dogs 2 in the coming days leading up to E3.

So Watchdogs is taking up the Assassins Creed slot this year...

I did quite enjoy the first one but got kind of bored with it after a while... too much repetition of missions and if I'm honest the main character was pretty boring and gruff... hope things are different this time around.

First one was awful, got bored after 20 mins. This is not on my to do list.

I liked WatchDogs, but it was a bit samey. I completed the main campaign but never went back for the remaining achievements. Think I'll wait for reviews before deciding.

I actually liked the first. There was a lot of room for improvement, so lets hope this is all round a better game.

I had a surprising amount of fun with Watch Dogs. It had it's problems, but it was different from the usual games I play and using camera's to blow up enemies without ever being spotted is super satisfying.

A release date later this year is a little bit annoying, but hopefully I'll have a job by then and some extra income. I'd prefer to get it on the Wii U, as that is what I played the original Watch Dogs on, but I'm somewhat doubting this will release on Wii U.That means it'll be an Xbox One purchase... I'll just have to decide if I'd rather have this or Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 this year... if I have the money spare to even buy either of them.

I agree with what you say, @RustyBullet. The original game was nice, but it had plenty of areas it could improve on, which hopefully will happen with this sequel.
