Ubisoft's Watch Dogs Legion received more substantial content this month, and the game only promises to get bigger from here. Online multiplayer for Watch Dogs Legion on PC released March 18 following its availability on consoles March 9, and today its first Tactical Op mission series launched across all platforms. Those who put off the game because of its delayed multiplayer features can try it out for free this coming weekend.
Now seems as good a time as ever to give Ubisoft's latest Watch Dogs title a spin, as a planned content roadmap through summer 2021 was also unveiled today. Included in this upcoming content is a crossover between Watch Dogs Legion and Assassin's Creed via a World Event available to all players in August. However, there will also be content exclusively available to Season Pass holders, including four new playable heroes, a story expansion, and more.
Before all of that arrives, interested players can access the Watch Dogs Legion free trial weekend between March 25 and 29 on PC (via Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Connect), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. It will include access to the story campaign up to its Skye Larsen mission, Online Mode content, and four of London's eight boroughs, with all progression carrying over to the full game according to Ubisoft. Pre-downloads will be available starting March 24 on PC (at 10:00 a.m. PT) and PlayStation (at 9:00 a.m. PT), but Xbox users must wait until launch.
Ubisoft has also confirmed that Watch Dogs Legion will receive cross-play and cross-generation support in the future, so those who like what they see during the free trial weekend may want to consider buying it for the chance to play with more friends down the line. There are a number of different sales planned across versions to coincide with this weekend according to an Ubisoft press release:
Xbox
- March 23 - April 1: 67 percent off Standard, 60 percent off Ultimate.
- April 2 - April 15: 50 percent off Standard and Ultimate.
PlayStation
- March 23 - March 31: 67 percent off Standard, 60 percent off Ultimate, and 25 percent off Season Pass.
PC
- March 18 - April 9 (Ubisoft Store): 50 percent off Standard, Gold, and Ultimate; 25 percent off Season Pass.
- March 25 - March 29 (Epic Games Store): 50 percent off Standard, Gold, and Ultimate; 25 percent off Season Pass.
Stadia
- March 25 - April 1: 52 percent off Standard, 45 percent off Gold and Ultimate, and 10 percent off Season Pass.
Those who do not wish to buy the game even at a discount may still be in luck, as earlier this month it was rumored that Watch Dogs Legion could come to Xbox Game Pass in the near future. Given the service has added a number of games from Bethesda Softworks and EA Play in recent weeks, it may not be a huge surprise to see Ubisoft offer titles from its catalog as well.
Watch Dogs Legion is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
