Ubisoft announced the next instlament in their open-world
Watch Dogs video game series back at E3 2019.
Watch Dogs Legion will be releasing in March of next year and allow players to essentially take control of any non-playable character — therefore meaning that there aren't any NPCs but you get the point.
Thanks to a recent interview that
GamingBolt did with Clint Hocking, we now know a little more about how progression works in the upcoming video game. According to the creative director of
Watch Dogs Legion, every single character can be levelled up and thereby upgraded.
"Every character is trained in one of the three Classes as soon as they join DedSec, and every character has their own progression. They level up and gain perks and abilities over time. Your investment in your individual characters is very much about playing with them, seeing them move through the story of the game, and levelling them up over time."
Hocking went on to explain that, as well as individual characters, you'll also be able to level up the overall DedSec operation — a banner which all of your playable characters will fall under. This means that you'll be upgrading all of your characters at once by levelling up the DedSec.
“At the same time, DedSec has its own progression, and all of your characters also get more powerful as DedSec is upgraded. So losing an individual Operative is more about losing a character and access to their specific playstyle, as opposed to losing progression and finding yourself underpowered against the enemy.”
Watch Dogs Legion is set to release on March 6th, 2020 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Google Stadia, and PC.
