Ubisoft have just revealed the new release date for Watch Dogs: Legion during their Ubisoft Forward presentation.
Along with the new release date, a new gameplay overview trailer was revealed. This trailer also explained more about the game’s plot. London has fallen under the grip of private security firm Albion after a terrorist attack, using deception and force to keep London under their control.
Pick almost any NPC on the streets, and use their skills to complete missions to stop crime-lords, Albion, and anyone else trying to use the UK for their own ends.
You can find the Gameplay Overview trailer and more below.
You can find an abridged rundown (via the official website) below.
WELCOME TO THE RESISTANCE
BUILD A RESISTANCE AND FIGHT BACK.
Mass surveillance, private militaries controlling the streets, organised crime… Enough! It’s time to end oppression. Recruit a well-rounded resistance to overthrow the opportunists ruining this once-great city. The fate of London lies with you.
PLAY AS ANYONE
ANYONE CAN BE YOUR WEAPON
Every Londoner has a reason to fight back. Explore the open world to find your next recruit. Each character is fully playable, has their own backstory, personality, and skill set — all of which comes into play as you personalise your team and choose the right operatives to best confront the challenges ahead.
TAKE BACK LONDON
SHOW THE CITY WHAT YOU’VE GOT.
Explore a massive urban open world and visit London’s many famous landmarks – including Big Ben, Tower Bridge, Camden, Piccadilly Circus or Whitechapel.
PLAY YOUR WAY
OR EXPERIMENT WITH PLAYSTYLES.
Tackle missions choosing from a wide range of weapons, a brand-new melee system or stealth abilities. The way you approach combat has real consequences. If you use non-lethal force, the enemy will attempt to subdue and arrest you. If you shoot to kill, you risk having your characters permanently killed.
GET THE GANG TOGETHER
BRING YOUR FRIENDS INTO THE MESS.
Giving London back to the people doesn’t have to be some heroic solo jaunt, ya know. Bring the fight online to join forces with up to three friends as you take on entirely new co-op missions and challenging end-game content.
Watch Dogs: Legion launches October 29th for Windows PC (via the Epic Games Store, and UPlay), PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Google Stadia, and Holiday 2020 for PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X.
