London. The huge plum. The mega village. The concrete bumble. That’s the place Watch Dogs three goes to be set, based on a leak on Amazon. A store listing for the third-person hack ’em up appeared, noticed by The Nerd Mag, which described the game as being set within the Britland capital and permitting the participant to “play as anyone”, suggesting that you could management any outdated NPC on the road. Which would make the identify on the itemizing, Watch Dogs Legion, make sense.
The itemizing has since been removed and as ever please take the complete description beneath with a giant teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt. It doesn’t precisely learn prefer it was written by an Ubisoft consultant.
“Watch_Dogs Legion is set in a near-future, dystopian version of London. It’s a post-Brexit world in which society, politics and technology have changed and altered London’s fortunes. London is one of the most iconic cities in the world and has had a massive influence on all of Western Culture for centuries… London makes total sense for WD, as the city has one of the highest surveillce levels in the world making this the perfect playground.”
Putting apart the misspelling of “surveillance”, even this merchandise description incorporates a component of message board doubt with the phrase “London makes total sense”. It seems like one thing your pal Kevin would say after taking a giant vape. However, Jason Schreier of Kotaku has previously mentioned the brand new game might be set in London and he stands by that today following this leak. He’s usually well-informed so, in all probability? To add to this, Watch Dogs 2 was not too long ago patched to incorporate a post-credits sequence wherein co-ordinates for Brixton appeared. Which looks as if a reasonably easy tease.
The itemizing additionally mentioned: “Play as anyone, Every individual you meet in the open world, has a full set of animations, voice over, character traits and visuals that are generated & guided by gameplay systems.”
Which brings to thoughts some type of character swapping system, however might simply be one thing much less instantaneous than that. Who is aware of?
We will! But solely after Ubisoft’s E3 convention subsequent Monday, June 10. Matt and I are off to the opposite huge plum, Los Angeles, to cowl the occasion, and Alice O might be right here kicking dozens of stories posts at your head like spherical little footballs of information.
