Ubisoft revealed further details on Watch Dogs: Legion during its Ubisoft Forward event on July 12 - alongside a brand new trailer. In it, we got to see some of the recruitable Londoners for Dedsec and a first look at the gameplay.
It's been over a year now since Watch Dogs: Legion was first revealed during Ubisoft's E3 2019 conference. Rumors suggested the latest instalation to the Watch Dog series would take place in post-Brexit London and it turns out they were spot on. With characters straight out of a Guy Ritchie film, Watch Dogs Legion sees you navigating the streets of futuristic London, including Camden Market and Piccadilly Circus, as you form a resistance to take back the city.
Originally Ubisoft gave us a Watch Dogs: Legion release date of March 6, 2020, however the developer has since revealed that this date has been pushed back to October 29, 2020 to allow the team "more development time to ensure that their respective innovations are perfectly implemented so as to deliver optimal experiences for players".
We may be waiting a bit longer than expected but here's everything know about Watch Dogs: Legion so far.
Cut to the chase
- What is it? The next game in the Watch Dogs series set in post-Brexit London
- What can I play it on? PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PS5 Stadia and PC.
- When can I play it? October 29, 2020.
Watch Dogs Legion trailers
The latest Watch Dogs: Legion trailer was revealed during Ubisoft Forward on July 12 and gave us an overview of gameplay
Check it out below:
Ubisoft revealed a trailer at Gamescom 2019 showcasing Watch Dogs: Legion's ray tracing capabilities. Check it out below:
Ubisoft revealed the first trailer for Watch Dogs 3 - officially titled Watch Dogs: Legion - at E3 2019.
Watch Dogs: Legion seems to see you taking on an organization called Albion who have distributed riot drones all over London to keep people in line. You're a member of the resistance: DeadSec.
What's interesting about Legion is that you play as more than one character (a whole host actually), with permadeath wiping out the one you're playing if you happen to end up on the wrong end of an electric bullet. You can apparently play as anyone - with every Londoner being recruitable and fully simulated.

Watch Dogs Legion news and rumors
New release date
During Ubisoft Forward, it was confirmed that Legion will release on October 29, 2020 for PC, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Stadia, PS5 and PS4.
Play as anyone
Watch Dogs: Legion lets you can on the role of anyone you come across, recruiting them to your resistance - that includes cops, construction workers and even football hooligans.
Release date delay and next-gen confirmation
Ubisoft announced it was delaying Watch Dogs Legion, Gods & Monsters and Rainbow Six Quarantine as its more recent releases did not meet expectations.
Originally meant to release in March 2020, Legion's release date was pushed back to late 2020 to allow for "more development time to ensure that their respective innovations are perfectly implemented so as to deliver optimal experiences for players".
In addition, Ubisoft chief financial officer Frédérick Duguet confirmed all three titles will release on next-generation consoles.
“Gods & Monsters, Rainbow Six Quarantine and Watch Dogs Legion will be released between Q2 and Q3 of next fiscal year and will be optimized for the next generation of consoles," Duguet said in a conference call following the announcement (via VGC).
E3 2019
From what we saw during E3, Legion seems to be much more combat-heavy than the previous entries we've seen in the Watchdogs series and offer a much more developed open-world. But what's really caught our eye is the realistic interpretation of London - even if it's a Bladerunner, neon feverdream.
