Watch Dogs: Legion will be released on October 29

Watch Dogs: Legion will be released on October 29, Ubisoft announced during its virtual Ubisoft Forward event. The publisher published new images of the game at the same time as the release date was announced.

In an extensive video, Ubisoft shows more details about the gameplay of Watch Dogs: Legion. In it, the publisher shows some missions and describes how players can recruit virtually all of the NPCs in the game that populate London for their resistance group, from skinheads to grannies. A new cinematic trailer also appeared.

The resistance is coming into action against Nigel Cass’s private security firm Albion on the one hand, and Mary Kelley’s crime empire on the other. Both try to take hold of the London of the future after a terrorist attack plunged the city into chaos.

Versions for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will be released on October 29. As soon as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X release, versions of the game will also be released for those consoles. Originally, Watch Dogs: Legion was scheduled to be released in March, but the developers needed more time to complete the game.

During the announcement, Ubisoft gave away free versions of Watch Dogs 2. The company’s servers were then overrun with users logging in to claim their copy. Ubisoft made up for it known that anyone with a Ubisoft account is eligible for the rewards, including those who failed to log in. The company is going to provide even more details on this.
