A new short-story trailer has dropped for Ubisoft’sWatch Dogs: Legion. The cinematic piece was followed up with a gameplay trailer of the new game duringUbisoft Forward, the live stream show put together by the massive publisher.
Watch Dogs: Legionis all about a city that is becoming increasingly oppressed by its government. The cinematic trailer shows a member of the resistance running from authorities, all while someone monologues in the background. The narrator of the trailer is semi-quoting the famous “First they came” poem. The original is about how Nazi Germany took over with oppression, and theWatch Dogsversion has its own twist to be in line with the futuristic London vibe.

The trailer ends with a taxi driver saving a member of the resistance, as a last-ditch choice to save the person in trouble. That taxi driver quickly becomes a wanted fugitive,thrusting him into being a member of the resistance.
After the cinematic piece, a much longer and more detailed gameplay trailer reveals how the resistance will work, what gameplay looks like, and how important it is to recruit members of society, whether it be an old lady or a random taxi driver, to help save the day. Especially during a difficult time in society, the resistance vs government approach seems more prevalent than ever. As far as London issues are concerned, as that’s where the game takes place,Legionprobably won’t say anything about Brexit.
The video highlights the fact thatWatch Dogs Legion is a technological playground, with the story background of the resistance taking on overbearing oppression. The stylistic video does a great job of setting up the deep gameplay dive that came after.
The first few Watch Dogs games have been successful, but Legion looks to up the ante. It could end up being a game that falls in line with the times in ways that Ubisoft hadn’t anticipated. There are tons ofreasons to be excited forWatch Dogs Legion, the information provided at the Ubisoft Forward show highlights that reality.
Watch Dogs: Legionis currently in development.
