Watch Dogs: Legion launches online multiplayer on PlayStation, Xbox, and Stadia

Good Boring Britain

Ubisoft has launched the online component for its blah open-world sequel Watch Dogs: Legion. The new multiplayer modes are now live on PS4, PS5, Xbox One🐈, Xbox Series X, and Stadia platforms. The PC update has been halted for the time being

Watch Dogs: Legion now offers a “Co-Op Free Roam” mode, which allows budding Brit hackers the opportunity to team up with a squad of three friends and take a stroll through the streets of London, completing activities and side-quests while enjoying the bizarre juxtaposition of character models paired with ill-fitting voice-actors.

For a little head-to-head action, players can jump into the Robot Wars-style Spiderbot Arena. For all of Watch Dogs: Legion‘s faults, you absolutely have to love those awesome little droids. In fairness, Watch Dogs: Legion only ♚really comes alive once you step away from its tired campaign and just simply start raising a little hell, so perhaps this multiplayer free-roam option will bring the fun and spontaneity back to the overly-formulaic gameplay.

Going forward, March 23 will see the arrival of a new multiplayer Tactical Op “Leader of the Pack,” again delayed from its scheduled launch due to technical issues. In the meantime, season pass owners can jump into two new single-player missions: “Guardian Protocol” and “Not in Our Name,” both of which will see DeadSec continue on its tireless, if fruitless, task of liberating England from misery and corruption.
