Thanks to a never-before-seen gameplay innovation created by Ubisoft Toronto*, the studio behind Watch Dogs Legion, players will have complete freedom to ‘Play as Anyone.’ Every Londoner in the open world is fully simulated, with a persistent life and backstory, and players can recruit anyone from the entire population into their team. In Watch Dogs Legion, the player’s mission is to build a resistance to fight back against the emergence of an authoritarian regime. In the near future, London is facing its downfall: people are being oppressed by an all-seeing surveillance state, a corrupt private military corporation controls the streets, and a powerful crime syndicate is preying on the most vulnerable. Legion was officially announced during last year's E3 event.
Watch Dogs Legion is slated for a release later this year on PC, Stadia, PS4/PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X. Ubisoft will likely release new information about Legion alongside a new trailer during its 'E3-like' digital showcase this Sunday during its UbiForward showcase.
This isn’t the first Ubisoft leak this week – over the weekend some gameplay footage of the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Valhalla found its way to YouTube.
