  • Rumour Watch Dogs Is Dead, and Legion Reportedly Killed It

    Taken out back

    Questions were no doubt asked about the future of Watch Dogs when the latest game in the series, Watch Dogs Legion, underperformed both critically and commercially (even though its initial sales numbers might have hinted otherwise). The PS5 and PS4 open world title, which first launched in 2020, saw a lot of improvement through...

  • News Ubisoft Pulls the Plug on Watch Dogs Legion PS5, PS4 Updates

    Bollocks

    Ubisoft’s post-release support for many of its games is spectacular, but the French publisher has pulled the plug on Watch Dogs Legion.

As it is,...

  • News Watch Dogs Legion PS5, PS4 Update Will Add Crossplay

    DedSec on the case

    Tourists returning to Watch Dogs Legion’s futuristic reimagining of London have been disappointed to learn that the title’s new online mode lacks crossplay – and even cross-generational play. This means, if you’re playing on the PlayStation 5, then you can’t even partner up with players on the PS4 – let alone Xbox...

    Ubisoft reflections

    Just a teensy confirmation from Watch Dogs: Legion’s live producer Lathieeshe Thillainathan writing as part of a Reddit question and answer: the game will run at 30 frames-per-second in 4K with raytracing enabled on the PlayStation 5. There’s no word on whether the title will have multiple graphical options, such as a 60...

  • News London's Burning in Watch Dogs Legion Story Trailer

    'Ey up

    Watch Dogs Legion allows you to play as Roger Moore-style 007 superspy and grandma with a walking frame, so its plot was always going to err on the corny side. This new story trailer confirms as much, as you’ll be up against nefarious security groups and virtual vigilantes. Watch Dogs 2 hit a nice balance with its plot, so we’re hoping...
