Watch Dogs Legion continues the open-world hacking setup the series is known for, but it's taking a markedly different approach than previous entries. Instead of focusing on a single character or group of characters, it focus on many, with a more systemic approach to gameplay and storytelling. Originally slated for March 6, 2020, its current release date is unknown after Watch Dogs Legion was delayed. According to 2019 Ubisoft investor call, it's due sometime in the 2020-21 fiscal year, which means it could hit between April 2020 and March 31, 2021, though Ubisoft mentioned the PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia game will release in the second half of this year.
While the first two games took place in Chicago and San Francisco, respectively, Watch Dogs Legion moves the setting to a near-future, dystopian London. Interestingly, Legion will let players "recruit" and take control of any NPC in the game, and your character choice will actually affect how the game plays out. Check out our guide to everything we know about Watch Dogs Legion, including how its NPC system works, character classes, combat, and more.
