Ubisoft released Watch Dogs: Legion last year and now the company has announced that an online mode will be available on March 9 to all game owners for free. This mode will be available as an update for all users of Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store on Windows PC, Stadia and Ubisoft +, Ubisoft's subscription service. The third game in Ubisoft's Watch Dogs series is set in London and has received several updates in the four months since its release. This time, the updates include Ray-Tracing support for the next-generation Xbox Series X and S and PlayStation 5 consoles.
Watch Dogs: Legion Online Mode: Everything you need to know
For starters, Watch Dogs: Legion's online mode will feature an open-world co-op mode where players can team up with friends of up to four players and explore London, learn about city events, complete challenges, and participate. in support activities. Ubisoft will also offer new cooperative missions for two to four players. But what seems to be the most compelling proposition amidst all of this is the new "Leader of the Pack," which is a four-player cooperative tactical operation. It will consist of five interconnected story missions that are final content. Ubisoft says that players will need to strategize and communicate effectively with their teammates and make sure they've upgraded gadgets and recruited a strong cast of characters. The Player vs. Player (PvP) mode will be called Spiderbot Arena, where four players control armed spider robots and compete against each other in a high-intensity, free-for-all deathmatch. Players can complete any online activity to earn XP to increase their rank and unlock various rewards such as exclusive cosmetics and influence points to recruit new agents or upgrade their DedSec devices. In addition to this Season Pass, Season Pass holders will also have access to two unique single player missions on March 9. The first is called "Guardian Protocol," where DedSec follows an algorithm that could allow AI to override human decisions. If they can't find it, it could be used to turn weaponized drones into autonomous executioners. The second one is called "Not in our name" and here a secret group steals the DedSec name. Worse still, they also steal information so that their employer, a ruthless tabloid owner, can use it to blackmail his victims. Ubisoft confirms in its 2021 plan that all players will have access to future free updates like the Invasion PvP mode, new co-op missions, and free characters. Season Pass owners will also have access later this year to additional DedSec missions, Watch Dogs: Legion - Bloodline story expansion, new playable heroes including Mina, a subject of transhuman experiences who possesses the ability to mind control; Darcy, a member of the Order of Assassins; Aiden Pearce and Wrench from the Watch Dogs franchise.
