Ubisoft has detailed the contents of Watch Dogs: Legion‘s next update, which will include its crossover with stablemate series, Assassin’s Creed.
Owners of the game’s Season Pass will be able to play as Assassin’s Brotherhood member Darcy from August 24. She’ll also come with a couple of story missions and world events bringing the world of Assassin’s Creed into the hi-tech universe of Watch Dogs. Including, of course, her hidden blade which she can use in the main game or online.
Darcy’s not the only arrival in the update, however. All players, regardless of whether they own the season pass, get a bunch of new modes in Title Update 5.5. These include two new modes in PvP in the form of Extraction and the long-delayed Invasion mode from previous Watch Dogs games.
Meanwhile, the game’s single player Campaign gets a new Resistance Mode option for players seeking a tougher challenge. As described on the Watch Dogs Legion blog, the Albion forces are on much higher alert. Underground Fast Travel has been disabled, and all enemies are Elites who’ll call in reinforcements much faster. And as a cherry on top, permadeath is always on too. Luckily, abilities have also been tweaked to balance things out and make them more potent.
Finally, the update will also introduce zombies to London in the game’s Legion of the Dead mode. You and up to three other friends must tool up and survive the undead hordes for as long as possible. This new mode was surprise-released in an alpha state on PC in June, but looks like it’s ready for launch proper on consoles and PC.
