14 DAY TRIAL // Watch Dogs: Legion, arguably one of the best games in the series, is getting something that many players have expected: an online mode. Ubisoft confirmed earlier today that the online mode for Watch Dogs: Legion will be available on March 9 for all owners of the game via a free update for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, the Epic Games Store, and Ubisoft Store on Windows PC, Stadia, and Ubisoft+, Ubisoft’s subscription service.
There are quite a lot of platforms where you can play Watch Dogs: Legion; almost as many as Bethesda's Skyrim. Anyway, those who can't wait to try out the new online mode of Watch Dogs: Legion will be happy to know that it includes a handful of interesting gameplay features.
For starters, players can roam freely the open-world while co-oping with other players. The new mode allows players to team up with their friends for up to four-players and explore London, encounter city events, complete challenges, and participate in side activities.
But wait, there's more! The online mode features new co-op missions for two-to-four players using new co-op gameplay mechanics and allowing players to recruit the perfect team and fight back against London threats across the most iconic landmarks of the city.
More importantly, the first four-player co-op Tactical Op called “Leader of the Pack” will be available for those who want to tackle something more challenging. This will require teamwork and efficiency to beat since it’s made of five interconnected narrative missions which are endgame content. Communication is absolutely mandatory for this operation to ensure that all participants have upgraded gadgets and recruited a strong cast of characters.
Last but not least, the new online mode will bring the first available PvP mode, Spiderbot Arena, where four players control armed spiderbots and compete in a high-intensity free-for-all deathmatch.
By completing any online activity, players will earn XP to increase their rank and unlock various rewards such as exclusive cosmetics and influence points to recruit new operatives or upgrade their DedSec gadgets.
Those who aren't into multiplayer will still have something to enjoy since Ubisoft announced Season Pass holders will have access to two unique single-player missions on March 9: Guardian Protocol and Not in Our Name.
