In Legion, you find that depth of character in your interactions with recruits. Think about the previous two Watch Dogs games, led by named and (moreso with the sequel) fully fleshed out humans. It's an unusual approach to building a story.

and doing their origin mission to bring them into your team is very personal to them. "But it's your investment in the character and your investment in picking them - from choosing them from the world, figuring out what their problems are. "There are definitely character movements and things that happen in the main storylines of the game," creative director Clint Hocking said in a chat at E3 2019.

(Think RPG-style character classes, devoted to street brawling, hacking, and stealth.) There are other characters inhabiting the main story, but everyone in DedSec is playable and everyone brings a different set of skills to the table. The people you recruit all become the stars of Legion. Convincing someone to join is a matter of figuring out what they need, want, or like, and helping them achieve that. They have jobs, homes, friends and family - full lives outside the brief, passing moments that you see them on the street. All the people of London are there to be recruited, you just have to convince them.Įveryone in the city lives by their own schedule. The difference in Legion is there's no main character except the one you recruit yourself. Resistance is the only way to fight back, and DedSec, the hacker group at the heart of Watch Dogs 2's story, knows the gameplan. After rebounding off of the first game to deliver a best-in-generation sequel in 2016, Ubisoft is back with a third one set in London and featuring a completely bananas premise: Big Brother isn't just watching, he's imposed a fascist state.
