Hocking says that “they’re not just a bucket of stats with a skin on them,” emphasizing that each recruit will feel distinct. I only had 45 minutes with the game, so it was hard to see just how much depth there is to each character. “They’re not just a bucket of stats with a skin on them.” You can swap between recruits at any point in the game, and the cut scenes will feature whoever it is you’re playing as at that given moment, complete with new animations and voice acting. Once you recruit someone, you can then assign them a class - there are three, which generally fall under combat, stealth, and hacking - and then voila, they’re part of your team. Going on a mission to get the money lender off her case helped change her mind. In one example, during a hands-on demo I had with the game, there was a woman having issues with a loan shark, and she also happened to be against the idea of DedSec. Once you identify someone you want to recruit, you then have to make them sympathetic to DedSec’s cause. Each NPC not only has a unique look, but also a unique life they have schedules and relationships with other characters. Legion goes a step further by letting you use this information to recruit them. In previous Watch Dogs games, you could scan every non-playable character to learn a bit more about them. The twist is that there isn’t one specific hero you play as instead, you can take control of almost any character in the game.
Creative director Clint Hocking describes the setting as a “time of massive social change.” Unemployment is rampant, with millions put out of work because of automation, and the venerable pound has been overtaken by a new form of cryptocurrency.Īmidst this chaos is DedSec, the Anonymous-style hacker organization at the heart of the Watch Dogs series.
(Of course, this being a Ubisoft game, it’s definitely not a game about politics.) For the most part, the city looks recognizable aside from the futuristic cars that dot the streets and the copious drones in the sky. The new game is set in the near future in post-Brexit London. Watch Dogs Legion, which was officially unveiled today at Ubisoft’s E3 keynote, doesn’t just take place in a sprawling, dynamic world - it also forces you to look at the people in that world in a new way.
As big as that leap was, though, the third game in the series is even more ambitious. The initial concept - where you play as a hacker in a GTA-style open world - was fleshed out in Watch Dogs 2, with more open-ended gameplay and a tone and style that felt just right.
