'Watch Dogs' New Release Date Leaked by Retailer, Ubisoft Correcting Abandoned 'Watch Dogs' Trademark?
Ramping up undying rumours and speculations for release date of "Watch Dogs," a new potential date has been spotted, thanks to an online retailer in Portugal.
Aside from the earlier rumoured March release date, as well as possible May finishing of the DLC for "Watch Dogs," the new tidbit comes from Fnac.
The release date this time is April 30, and VG 24/7 reports that Ubisoft is still adamant about being quite regarding "Watch Dogs'" release date. The report adds that April 30 is the expected delivery date, which makes sense, as it does not fall on the game launch days for either North America or Europe.
Still, as usual, nothing is official until Ubisoft finally states when gamers can expect "Watch Dogs" to debut.

Ubisoft Didn't Abandon the 'Watch Dogs' Trademark
For those who were surprised by the fact that Ubisoft seemed to have abandoned the trademark for "Watch Dogs" will be reassured as the company has already affirmed that the trademark was altered without its consent or even knowledge.
IGN reports that the previous reports pointing to an altered trademark for "Watch Dogs" have already been cleared and Ubisoft has already resubmitted a new filing for the game. According to the patent:
"Mr. Guillemot [Ubisoft CEO], however, did not sign the Request for Express Abandonment, nor did Ubisoft Entertainment file the Request for Express Abandonment. The Request for Express Abandonment is fraudulent and was not filed by Ubisoft Entertainment or its representative."

Some of the translated areas have shown interesting hints as to what can be expected. For instance, there's the option of viewing buildings in 3-D perspective. The triangle command can also be used to show the data flow in Chicago, which will give players immense access for hacking.
More information was also revealed for the L train with a matching close up shot of the interior. There was also an interesting part wherein drinking in particular bars will boost the Focused mode capability (the gamer's ability to slow down time), but this effect only lasts temporarily.
