Watch Dogs: Legion is an action-adventure game with a third-person perspective, developed and published by Ubisoft. It is the third installment in the series and a direct sequel to Watch Dogs 2. In Legion, the developers introduce a new gameplay mechanic—the absence of a main protagonist and the ability to play as absolutely any character. The main objective is to assemble your own team of hackers to fight against a digital authoritarian regime. Who ends up on that team is entirely up to the player.
The game is set in the near future, in London. Villains orchestrate several building explosions, but the blame falls on the hacker group DedSec. Furthermore, the city's residents have fallen under round-the-clock surveillance, carried out by the private security firm Albion, which now functions as the city's law enforcement. Through the advanced ctOS surveillance system and various security drones, people's activities are strictly monitored. The DedSec hackers know they must reclaim personal freedom and privacy, and thus they aim to recruit as many people as possible into their ranks.
And here begins the magic from Ubisoft: you can play as absolutely any character. Each one has their own backstory, personality traits, and qualities that may prove useful. For example, recruiting a former Albion employee allows you to easily infiltrate the organization's buildings, while having a team member with a personal vehicle and unique weapon lets you send them on particularly dangerous missions. Once added to the player's roster, each character is assigned one of three classes (Combat, Stealth, Hacker), each with its own set of tools and skill upgrades.
