Ubisoft shows a trailer, a cool short film, and announces the release date of Watch Dogs: Legion at its digital press conference “Ubisoft Forward.” Additionally, the gameplay trailer introduces us to how Watch Dogs: Legion works. Included is an assassin who bears resemblance to John Wick.
When is the release of Watch Dogs: Legion? Watch Dogs Legion officially releases on October 29, 2020, for PC, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PS5. The game is also set to come to Google’s streaming platform Stadia.
What kind of gameplay was shown? In addition, Ubisoft showcased a lot of new gameplay in its gameplay trailer. For example, you can complete missions from multiple perspectives – depending on which character you recruited beforehand. Ubisoft had previously stated that you can choose from 9 million characters in Watch Dogs: Legion.
Each character has their own abilities. The construction worker has a work drone, while the employee of the security firm Albion easily passes through security barriers.
Killer in Legion looks and fights like John Wick
And after you were out as a grandma in Watch Dogs: Legion last time, Ubisoft shows this time that you can slip into the role of a battle-hardened assassin. And this one can pack a powerful punch.
This character is introduced to us this time: While the grandma relied on relatively improvised weapons, our assassin uses heavy weapons. Like John Wick, he mercilessly fights and shoots his way through the security personnel of Mary Kelley’s gangster syndicate, which has no chance against him. Every hit in the gameplay trailer lands perfectly. In the trailer, you almost feel a bit overpowered. And this awareness of being strong and dangerous is sure to appeal to some players.
Why do we think of John Wick? The featured killer is not portrayed as a cold-blooded murderer in the trailer: At the beginning, he lays a flower on an unnamed grave before he gets to his bloody work. He probably has his reasons and is not just randomly shooting through the gangsters’ organ farm. And that beard definitely resembles that of John Wick.
Whether it is an act of revenge or how the backgrounds of the characters play a role in the missions has not been explained by Ubisoft yet.
It probably won’t be about a dog, as Ubisoft stated that there will be no dogs in Watch Dogs: Legion.
Where can I watch the gameplay? You can check out the new gameplay of Watch Dogs: Legion in the official YouTube video.
