Watch Dogs: Legion is an action-adventure game developed by Ubisoft Toronto and published by Ubisoft. It was released on 29 October 2020 for Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Stadia; Xbox Series X|S (10 November 2020) and PlayStation 5 (November 2020) versions followed as launch titles for those consoles. It is set in a near-future London where the private military company Albion has taken over policing, and its signature feature is that you can recruit and play as many of the Londoners you meet.
DedSec has been wiped out and you rebuild it by recruiting operatives, each with their own skills. You can turn on permadeath before starting a new game, which permanently removes any operative who dies or is arrested; if all are lost the game ends.
London is split into eight boroughs plus the City of London. Antagonists include Albion, the East End criminal syndicate Clan Kelley, and Broca Tech, a biotech corporation led by Skye Larsen, along with Zero Day and SIRS. Critics gave it mixed reviews: they praised the recruitment system and permadeath but criticised repetitive missions, driving and uneven difficulty.
Post-launch content: the Bloodline expansion (6 July 2021) is a paid prequel with Aiden Pearce and Wrench. Season Pass content also added Mina Sidhu (May 2021) and Darcy Clarkson (August 2021, an Assassin's Creed crossover). Ubisoft announced in January 2022 that major content updates would end. A four-player online co-op mode launched in March 2021.
