In the latest episode of the ongoing This Week On Xbox series, Major Nelson discusses the launch of FIFA 21, a release date for the new Outriders game, and features new trailers for the upcoming launch of Watch Dogs: Legion.
“Watch Dogs Legion will be officially launching at the end of this month and available to play from October 29th, 2020 onwards on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. A next-generation version will also be available from November 10th for both Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 consoles.”
“The Watch Dogs: Legion story focuses on the London branch of hacker group DedSec, as they attempt to liberate the city from its dystopian surveillance state by recruiting allies from London’s inhabitants. At the same time, the group focuses on investigating a string of terrorist attacks they were framed for, and who orchestrated them, discovering a deep conspiracy centered around the head of a private military company.”
Gameplay and Features
Watch Dogs: Legion introduces a unique gameplay mechanic that sets it apart from its predecessors and other games in the genre. Players can recruit and control virtually any character they encounter in the game world. Each character has their own backstory, skill set, and abilities, which can be leveraged to complete various missions and challenges. This “Play as Anyone” feature adds a layer of strategy and personalization, as players must carefully choose their recruits based on the needs of their missions.
The game also features a robust open-world environment, meticulously designed to capture the essence of London. From the iconic landmarks like Big Ben and the Tower Bridge to the bustling streets filled with NPCs going about their daily lives, the game offers an immersive experience that brings the city to life. The dynamic weather system and day-night cycle further enhance the realism, making the virtual London feel like a living, breathing entity.
Multiplayer and Cooperative Play
The Watch Dogs Legion open world, fictionalized representation of London, also features a cooperative multiplayer mode that will allow up to four players to work together. This mode offers a variety of missions and activities that can be tackled as a team, providing a different experience from the single-player campaign. Players can join forces to take down enemy strongholds, complete heists, or simply explore the city together. The cooperative mode also includes unique challenges and rewards, encouraging teamwork and coordination.
In addition to cooperative play, the game will also feature competitive multiplayer modes, where players can test their skills against others in various PvP scenarios. These modes will include classic game types like deathmatch and capture the flag, as well as new, innovative modes designed specifically for the Watch Dogs universe.
The game’s post-launch content plans include regular updates that will introduce new characters, missions, and events, ensuring that players always have something new to look forward to. Ubisoft has also announced plans for a season pass, which will grant access to exclusive content and early access to new features.
The anticipation for Watch Dogs: Legion is palpable, as fans eagerly await the chance to dive into its rich, detailed world and experience its innovative gameplay mechanics. With its blend of action, strategy, and social commentary, the game promises to be a standout title in the open-world genre.
