Watch Dogs Legion’s multiplayer mode is launching next month

Ubisoft has announced that Watch Dogs: Legion’s delayed multiplayer mode will be arriving on PC and consoles on March 9th, offering gamers a variety of game modes that includes a free-roam mode, 2-4 player co-op missions, 4-player co-op tactical ops and a PVP Spiderbot arena mode. 

In Spiderbot Arena, gamers will take control of Spiderbots and compete in a deathmatch against other players, uncovering weapons and other upgrades along the way to create the strongest battle bot. 

Watch Dogs Legion;’s multiplayer mode will be a separate instance of the game’s dystopian London from the game’s single-player modes, allowing players to create a separate cell of DeadSec for the game’s free-roam and co-op game modes. 

In Tactical Ops mode, players will take part in 5-part multi-mission challenges where players must work together to complete a series of challenges. This mode is similar to Grand Theft Auto 5’s Heists, requiring strong teamwork and communication to achieve success. 

In the game’s shorter co-op missions, players will be able to team up to complete smaller objectives, offering gamers more bite-sized pieces of content than the game;’s longer Tactical Ops missions. These missions are also more flexible and can be played with fewer than four players. 

Below are Ubisoft’s descriptions for the online mode of Watch Dogs: Legion;

– Free-roam open-world co-op where players can team up with their friends for up to four players. Players can explore London, encounter city events, complete challenges and participate in side activities.

– New co-op missions for two-to-four players using new co-op gameplay mechanics. This will also give players the opportunity to recruit the perfect team and fight back against London threats across the most iconic landmarks of the city.

– “Leader of the Pack,” the first four-player co-op Tactical Op which will require teamwork and efficiency. It’s made of five interconnected narrative missions which are endgame content, made for players who are seeking a challenge. Players will need to strategise and communicate effectively with their teammates. Players will also have to ensure they have upgraded gadgets and recruited a strong cast of characters.

– The first available Player-vs-Player (PvP) mode, Spiderbot Arena. In this mode, four players control armed spiderbots and compete in a high intensity free-for-all deathmatch.
