STORMZY ON A MISSION

Ubisoft has revealed that Watch Dogs: Legion will have a mission that stars British rapper Stormzy during its recent Ubisoft Forward stream. The stream saw the star debut part of a new music video created within the game while the mission named Fall On My Enemies after the track, will be playable in-game on its 29 October release.

CREATIVE SIMULATIONS IN Watch Dogs: Legion

Sean Crooks, lead producer of Watch Dogs: Legion said, “We wanted to create situations where people could find fantasies around them, on characters, try them out, and deliver on them. If people can use their ingenuity about how things work in the real world, and the game simulates and delivers on that, then it’s going to work really well. So we focused our development and our approach to all the systems around that.”
