Watch Dogs: Legion's Multiplayer Co-op Mode Now Live On Consoles

Ubisoft just announced that console players with Watch Dogs: Legion can boot their copy, update it, and jump into the new free online mode which lets you play the open world in co-op with up to four players.

Have a look at the trailer for online mode below.

According to Ubisoft, here’s what you’re getting when you jump into the multiplayer portion of Watch Dogs: Legion.

“Free-roam open-world co-op where players can team up with their friends for up to four-players and 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 and giving players the opportunity to recruit the perfect team and fight back against London’s threats across the most iconic landmarks of the city.

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

Two exclusive single-player missions for Season Pass owners are also available today:

• Guardian Protocol: DedSec will track down an algorithm that shows that AI can sometimes override human decision. If this algorithm was to be used in weaponized drones… they would have power over life and death.

• Not In Our Name: DedSec discovers a secret group using their name in London, working under the orders of a ruthless tabloid owner, who uses information stolen by this group to blackmail his notorious victims and gain power in the city.”

On March 23, Legion’s online mode will be updated with a “Leader of the Pack” content, the game’s first 4-player co-op mission. This seems to be just the start for Ubisoft as they say free updates are coming. One of them is an Invasion pvp mode, which is likely similar to the pvp feature found in Watch Dogs 1 and 2. Then, expect new co-op missions and free characters added to online mode in the future.

Watch Dogs: Legion was released on October 29, 2020 and was originally planned to have the online portion of the game available in December of 2020. But delays occurred which resulted in the online feature to be available only this month. The online mode of Watch Dogs Legion will be available on PC “will get access soon”, according to Ubisoft.
