Watch Dogs: Legion is the third major entry in Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs franchise and a direct successor to Watch Dogs 2, delivering an exciting evolution of the series' open-world hacking formula. Set in a dystopian, near-future London reshaped by political unrest and advanced surveillance technology in a post-Brexit society, the game presents a living, reactive city under the control of authoritarian forces and private military corporations. Players experience the world from a third-person perspective, exploring iconic London landmarks reimagined through a dark, technologically driven lens.
The defining feature of Watch Dogs: Legion is its groundbreaking “play as anyone” system. Rather than following a single fixed protagonist, every NPC in the city can be recruited into DedSec, the underground resistance movement fighting to liberate London. Each recruitable character comes with a unique personal history, profession, personality traits, and skill set, directly influencing gameplay. From construction workers and hackers to lawyers, spies, and street performers, players are encouraged to build a diverse team and freely switch between operatives to approach missions in different ways. Strategic decision-making is crucial, as operatives can be permanently lost during a playthrough if permadeath is enabled, raising the stakes of every encounter.
Once recruited, operatives can be specialized into one of three core playstyles. Enforcers excel in direct combat, wielding heavy weaponry, deploying sticky mines, and enhancing firearms with explosive ammunition. Infiltrators focus on stealth and deception, equipped with tools such as the advanced AR Cloak, which allows temporary invisibility to bypass enemies or escape danger. Hackers emphasize technological control, using drones, remote gadgets, and environmental manipulation to solve objectives creatively without ever engaging in open conflict. These distinct roles encourage experimentation and tactical flexibility throughout the campaign.
Watch Dogs: Legion offers a robust single-player experience featuring five interconnected main storylines and more than 60 missions, delving into themes of surveillance, personal freedom, and resistance in a hyper-connected society. In addition to the solo campaign, the game includes an online cooperative multiplayer mode that supports up to four players, allowing friends to team up, complete missions together, and tackle dynamic challenges across the open world. With its innovative recruitment system, richly detailed setting, and flexible gameplay approaches, Watch Dogs: Legion delivers a modern and ambitious take on the open-world action genre.
