Watch Dogs: Legion, Ubisoft’s open-world hacker game, will be free to play on Xbox, PlayStation and PC from March 25, the developer announced today in a blog post.
The assessment will give you full access to the open world of the game. As long as you can complete Legioncritical path of in less than 20 hours– enough for a weekend marathon – don’t have any ideas: the free trial will not allow you to go beyond the campaign’s “Skye Larsen” mission, which takes place in the middle of the game.
You can also try out the recently launched multiplayer mode, which, although sporadically fun with friends, is nothing surprising if you are playing with strangers. Earlier today, multiplayer received its first tactical operation (think: cooperative raid multiplayer mission), but you won’t be able to give it a try at trial. You will only be able to play the brief cooperative missions and the Spiderbot Arena mode.
The Ubisoft blog post says the free trial ends on March 29, but a video uploaded to YouTube it says will end on March 28th. (5:05 pm Eastern Time Update: In a statement to Kotaku, a spokesman for Ubisoftn clarified that Legionfree trial ends May 29).
In addition to today’s free trial, Ubisoft detailed the summer roadmap for Watch Dogs: Legion:
- Next month, Mina, a new heroine, will enter the game, but will only be available to those who have the season pass.
- In May, the game’s multiplayer mode will receive a second tactical operation.
- Two new competitive modes – Extraction and Invasion – will also become playable in May. It is not immediately clear how these modes will be reproduced. Hopefully, they feature real people, rather than spider robots.
- June will see the first major expansion of the game: Bloodlines. Will have two characters from the previous Watch dogs games: Aiden Pearce (the humorless protagonist of the first game) and Wrench (his comrade DJ masked by Watch Dogs 2) Season pass owners will be able to play as both.
- In August, season pass owners will be able to play as Darcy, a member of the Ubisoft Assassin Order Assassin’s Creed Series.
