Watch Dogs: Legion Is Now Online For Those Looking To Bring London Down Further

Watch Dogs

The Online Mode for Watch Dogs: Legion is now live and we have a recap of what this will bring to the fun of Watch Dogs: Legion

The big online day is here for Watch Dogs: Legion, as the new mode and features are out there for those that have the game. This is not a separate mode that other titles out there have used, but a nice add-on that Ubisoft is giving the community out there to take the game to some new levels. Not only that but also give those that picked up the Season Pass for Watch Dogs: Legion a little more to experience with two new mission lines to go down in it all. No matter how you have the game, there will be at least something for you to pick up and experience that you have not been able to do in the game thus far. Even if it feels to me like we did not need an online mode for this already epic game. It does give us some Spiderbot combat, so that is a solid win to recognize.

For those that do not know, this new mode will add into Watch Dogs: Legion a way for players to team up in the free-roam aspect of the game to handle missions, some co-op missions, and that PvP battle mentioned above. All of which will take place in a "new" instance of London in-game where you will need to recruit new members to DedSec to use. All of which done through "influence" and not requiring the longer missions we already had in the core game. This kind of makes sense to make sure everyone starts on even footing, but given that we can still recruit the same characters and there is no real leveling on the recruits in Watch Dogs: Legion, it seems a bit odd. Given that it seems like only the PvP portion would be of any major concern, it feels like it would have been better to just alter the upgrades in tech we have and not the characters themself.

Watch Dogs: Legion — Online Mode Launch

Today, Ubisoft announced that the online mode for Watch Dogs: Legion is now available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Stadia at no additional cost for Watch Dogs: Legion players. The mode will also be coming shortly after on the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store on Windows PC, and Ubisoft, Ubisoft’s subscription service.

The online mode of Watch Dogs: Legion includes:

  • Free-roam open-world co-op where players can team up with their friends for up to four-players and explore London, encounter city events, complete challenges 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 and fight back against London’s threats across the most iconic landmarks of the city.
  • The first available Player-vs-Player (PvP) mode, Spiderbot Arena, where four players control armed spiderbots and compete in a high-intensity free-for-all deathmatch.

Two exclusive single-player missions for Season Pass owners are also available today:

  • Guardian Protocol: DedSec will track down an algorithm that shows that AI can sometimes override human decision. If this algorithm was to be used in weaponized drones… they would have power over life and death.
  • Not In Our Name: DedSec discovers a secret group using their name in London, working under the orders of a ruthless tabloid owner, who uses information stolen by this group to blackmail his notorious victims and gain power in the city.

On 23rd March, Leader Of The Pack, the first four-player co-op Tactical Op which will require teamwork and efficiency will be available. More content will continue being added after launch through free updates, including Invasion PvP mode, all-new co-op missions, free characters, and more.

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.
