Ubisoft has announced the release date of the Online mode for Watch Dogs: Legion and fans do not have to wait a long time for it. Watch Dogs: Legion Online is arriving on March 9, 2021, and it will arrive as a free update for all players on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. The free update will be one of the biggest ones for the game so far and it will add the much-awaited online mode to the game for which the developer held a closed-beta recently as well.
According to the developer, the online mode of Watch Dogs: Legion will include all of the following features for all players:
- Free-roam open-world co-op where players can team up with their friends for up to four-players and explore London, encounter city events, complete challenges and participate in side activities.
- New co-op missions for two-to-four players using new co-op gameplay mechanics and giving players the opportunity to recruit the perfect team and fight back against London threats across the most iconic landmarks of the city.
- “Leader of the Pack,” the first four-player co-op Tactical Op which will require teamwork and efficiency. It’s made of five interconnected narrative missions which are endgame content, made for players who are seeking a challenge. Players will need to strategize and communicate effectively with their teammates and ensure they have upgraded gadgets and recruited a strong cast of characters.
- The first available Player-vs-Player (PvP) mode, Spiderbot Arena, where four players control armed spiderbots and compete in a high-intensity free-for-all deathmatch.
After the players have completed any activity in the game, they will earn XP which will increase their rank and unlock additional rewards such as visual cosmetics and influence points to recruit new operatives and upgrade their DedSec gadgets. Season Pass holders will also get access to wo unique solo missions on March 9, 2021:
- Guardian Protocol – DedSec tracks an algorithm that could allow AI to override human decisions. If they don’t find it, it could be used to turn weaponized drones into autonomous executioners.
- Not in Our Name – A secret group is stealing DedSec’s name. Worse, they’re also stealing information so their employer, a ruthless tabloid owner, can use it to blackmail their victims
Watch Dogs: Legion online will only expand in the future as detailed by the game roadmap released earlier by the developer. In 2021, all players will also get access to future free updates which will add Invasions PvP mode, all-new co-op missions, and free characters. Future DeadSec missions will also be available to all Season Pass holders. Access to Watch Dogs: Legion – Bloodline story expansion is also part of the Season Pass.
New playable heroes are also planned for the future including Mina, Darcy, Aiden Pearce, and Wrench from previous Watch Dogs titles are all part of the future roadmap. You can get your hands on the Season Pass in the Gold, Ultimate, and Collector Editions of the game.
