Everything You Need to Know About Watch Dogs: Legion’s Launch

We’re only a few days away from launch, and we are very excited to see you build your resistance and liberate London! The game will be available on October 29 at midnight local time in each country. From then on you will be able to recruit anyone, play as anyone, explore our near-future London, fight back against the authoritarian powers who want to take over, and find out who is behind the Zero-Day bombings.

Our Online mode will launch early December, offering up to 4-player co-op and a variety of new content, activities and stories. We will share more details as we get closer to December.
