Watch Dogs Legion introduces a groundbreaking mechanic that allows players to recruit and play as virtually any character they encounter in the game’s open-world setting of near-future London. Set in a dystopian society under the control of an authoritarian regime, players must build a resistance movement by recruiting ordinary citizens who possess unique skills and abilities. From street artists and hackers to former spies and construction workers, each character offers a distinct set of attributes that can be leveraged to accomplish missions and overcome challenges in creative ways. This innovative approach to character selection adds depth and diversity to the gameplay experience, empowering players to craft their own narrative and shape the fate of London through their choices and actions.

As players explore the sprawling urban landscape of London, they’ll encounter a vast array of characters with their own stories and motivations. Some may be disillusioned with the oppressive regime and eager to join the fight for freedom, while others may require persuasion or assistance before they’re willing to take up arms. Each character brings their own unique perspective and abilities to the table, whether it’s a knack for hacking security systems, proficiency in hand-to-hand combat, or expertise in driving getaway vehicles. Players can recruit characters from all walks of life, including professionals, criminals, and everyday citizens, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. By strategically assembling a diverse team of operatives, players can tailor their approach to missions and adapt to changing circumstances, ensuring that no two playthroughs are ever the same. With its groundbreaking “play as anyone” mechanic, Watch Dogs Legion offers an unprecedented level of freedom and immersion, allowing players to experience the city of London through the eyes of its inhabitants and shape the course of history in their fight against oppression.
