Watch Dogs: Legion Updates: Watch Dogs: Legion gets a standalone zombie mode called Legion of the Dead in an unexpected PC alpha release. Previously Ubisoft had given hints of a new mode to be added soon, but no concrete information was provided. Now the “surprise” has been revealed as the zombie mode will go live alongside the game’s June 1st update.
The new June 1st update named at Title update 4.5 is bringing a lot of changes. To begin with, are a lot of “Quality of Life” enhancements that will be added with the 60 FPS performance mode, announced previously.
The new update is also set to make players from the same console type play with each other. This means PS4 and PS5 players can team up and Xbox players of all series can do the same.
Ubisoft is also set to do an August update as Title update 5.0. It will add two PvP modes. It is also set to introduce the awaited Bloodline DLC, but that’s not confirmed. If so happens it will also see Aiden and Wrench’s addition as playable characters.
The Watch Dogs: Legion of the Dead mode released on June 1st in PC Alpha. It can be accessed through Ubisoft Connect’s “Free Games” tab. The mode features London overrun with zombies which players need to survive and flee. One can play alone or with three other users with the main focus of collecting resources that are fundamental to their escaping.
