Questionable veracity of their un-cited statistic aside, the tweet clearly points toward the crime-ridden New Jersey city of Camden as the next heavily-surveilled location for protagonist Aiden Pearce to hack into submission. Or maybe it won’t be Aiden. Last we heard, Watch Dogs’ story DLC would follow Raymond “T-Bone” Kenney, one of the supporting players in the main game’s story.

“Welcome to the resistance” goes the tagline for Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs: Legion, a game that our reviewers did not reward with the highest marks, but for which there are still plenty of reasons to enjoy, especially on the PlayStation 5, where it’s best enjoyed. As you make your way through an alternative future London, fighting the oppressive state machine, you can explore a fantastically open world as your playground and fight those baddies with combat that’s incredibly fun. Watch Dogs: Legion is a hugely enjoyable mess, and for $30, what do you have to lose?

Ubisoft is delaying Watch Dogs: Legion's upcoming multiplayer mode until 2021. The studio says it will focus on fixing the game's technical issues, starting with a major patch next week.

The online update was set to launch on December 3, and would have added co-op missions and competitive modes to the game. It would have been Watch Dogs: Legion's first major content drop since the game's release in October. Ubisoft says the mode will now launch in early 2021 but no specific date was given. The news comes just after the game's price has dropped to $30 at some retailers ahead of Black Friday.
