On October 29, 2020, Ubisoft releases Watch Dogs Legion into a world hungry for reinvention — a game set in dystopian London that asks whether heroism might belong not to one chosen figure, but to an entire city of ordinary people. The title arrives at the threshold of a new console generation, offering free upgrades to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X as a kind of bridge between what gaming was and what it is becoming. At its philosophical core, Legion poses a quiet but radical question: what happens to a story when anyone can be its protagonist?
