Game company Ubisoft recently released two new trailers for upcoming video game Watch Dogs: Legion.
The first trailer focuses more on the story talking about how the players will be the ones who will handle the fate of London. Zero-Day, an unknown entity, has framed the secret underground resistance, DedSec, for the bombings that contributed to the fall of London. Players will need to fight to liberate London by building a resistance.
The game will release on Oct. 29 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Google Stadia and for Windows PC on Epic Games and Uplay. Xbox Series X/S will be released on Nov. 10 and digitally on PlayStation 5 alongside the console on Nov. 12. The physical version of the game for the PS5 will be available on Nov. 24.
Ubisoft has also announced that the Online multiplayer mode of the game will be available on Dec. 3 as part of a free game update for all players. The game has a robust post-launch plan that will bring fresh content to the single-player mode and introduce online multiplayer modes.
The Online mode of Watch Dogs: Legion will include the following features as part of the 3rd December free update:
- Free-roam open-world co-op where players can team up with their friends for up to four-player co-op and explore the city of London and participate in side activities
- New co-op missions for two-to-four players using new co-op gameplay mechanics and giving players the opportunity to recruit the perfect team
- Four-player co-op Tactical Ops missions which will require teamwork and efficiency
- The first available Player-vs-Player (PvP) mode, Spiderbot Arena, where four-to-eight players control armed spiderbots and compete in a high intensity free-for-all deathmatch
New free content for the single-player mode will be available in a future update in 2021, and will include:
- New characters with new abilities
- New mission content
- A New Game Plus mode
Additionally, players who acquire the Season Pass of Watch Dogs: Legion will get access to Watch Dogs: Legion – Bloodline, a new storyline which includes Aiden Pearce from the original Watch Dogs game and Wrench from Watch Dogs 2, fully playable in the single player campaign and online, along with two other characters which were unveiled today:
- Darcy, a member of the Assassin Order, thanks to a cross-over with Assassin’s Creed
- Mina, a subject of transhuman experiments, who possesses the ability to mind control individuals
In addition to the unique playable characters and Watch Dogs: Legion – Bloodline story expansion, the Season Pass will offer extra DedSec missions, the original Watch Dogs Complete Edition from 2014, and more. The Season Pass of Watch Dogs: Legion is available for purchase as part of the Gold, Ultimate and Collector editions.
The game introduces the Play as Anyone feature which is a never-before-seen gameplay innovation created by Ubisoft Toronto. It gives players the opportunity to choose anyone from the entire city of London and recruit them for the cause. Every single person in the open world can be recruited and played, is unique and has backstory, personality and skillset.
Hardware-accelerated DirectX Raytracing on Xbox Series X will be supported by the game and full ray-tracing support on Nvidia RTX-equipped PC devices as well. It will bring real-time ray-tracing reflection to the game. Players who have the game on Xbox One and PS4 can upgrade it to the next-gen version for free.
In Watch Dogs: Legion, London is facing its downfall. Amidst the growing unrest of a restless London, an unknown entity named Zero-Day has framed secret underground resistance DedSec for coordinated bombings across London. In the aftermath, criminal opportunists from every corner of London took hold and filled the void left by a defeated government. As a member of DedSec, players will be going up against those criminal opportunists in Watch Dogs: Legion; sadists, mercenaries, cybercriminals, and more; they’ll have to be prepared for a variety of situations. Players must recruit members into their DedSec Resistance to take on these criminal opportunists, liberate London and uncover the identity of Zero-Day.
