Where is Watch Dogs Legion set?

Watch Dogs Legion is officially set in London, United Kingdom, after months of speculation and leaks suggested it would take place in the city.

It is set in a post-Brexit dystopian world, and instead of having a single protagonist, players will take control of multiple characters with a multitude of different skill sets.

The game has many playable characters.

Who do you play as?

Some of the main playable characters include:

  • A courageous ex-spy from the prestigious MI5 group.
  • A talented robotics expert who got kicked out of one of the UK’s top universities for “teaching robots to reproduce”
  • A bare-knuckle champion with insane boxing skills.
  • An old lady retired assassin, who is “the deadliest of the lot”

Every NPC in the game can be hacked and controlled, making the game the most accessible in the series.

Players will recruit characters to hacker group DedSec to take on “criminals, a corrupt private military corporation, and an oppressive surveillance state amidst a collapsed government.”

When is the game coming out?

Watch Dogs Legion is releasing worldwide on March 6, 2020 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, and Google Stadia systems.
