AC Connection?

So, for those who played both Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag, I LOVED how it turned out that the two games take place in the same universe. I'm hopeful that there will be more connections, and I think I may have stumbled across what may be either a big coincidence, or a big connection.

This may or may not be a spoiler, so turn away if you'd rather be safe than sorry.

I discovered that Cristina Rosato, who played Melanie Lemay at Abstergo Entertainment in Black Flag and AC: Rogue, is in Watch Dogs 2 as a "DedSec hacker". She may just be playing a different character, but considering her boss at Abstergo, Olivier Garnier, was assassinated by Aiden Pierce in the first Watch Dogs...

Just thought it was interesting. Anyone else?

So far it seems like The easter egg in AC4 is still the biggest connection so far, that Blume exists in the AC universe.

In the first Watch Dogs, there was one of those little ctOS Randomizer spy videos that showed a kid playing a video game while his dad watched, and it was obvious it was an Assassin's Creed game even though they never actually said the title.

In Watch Dogs 2 you hack into Ubisoft's SF HQ and on the front of their building is a huge poster for the AC movie. That's the only connection I've noticed so far. I think I'm one or two missions away from finishing the game.

Exactly.

The father and son scene AND the Ubisoft company (as well as the AC movie poster) demonstrate the break of the fourth wall. Meaning they're trying to keep it real as its only a game and a movie by Ubisoft, within the Watch Dogs universe.

...but then there's the mission with the CEO of Abstergo Entertainment and we all know how that turned out; Aiden Pierce killed him. This however says otherwise, that the Assassin's Creed isn't a game but rather in real time, in the same universe as watchdogs.

What does this mean? Too many easter eggs that screwed up Ubisoft...
Question is, Which one is true?

Watchdogs and AC share same universe OR is AC only a creation of Ubisoft in Watchdogs.

In AC4, Abstergo was releasing "Assassins Creed" games in the AC universe! I'm afraid any hope of it making actual sense went out the window right there. =P
