Watch Dogs Legion will get no further updates as development winds down

Like most of Ubisoft’s open-world games nowadays, Watch Dogs Legion launched with an extensive post-launch roadmap in place, including free and paid DLCs rolling out over late 2020 and 2021. Now as we head into 2022, the Watch Dogs Legion team is moving on to new projects. 

In a blog post this week, Ubisoft confirmed that development on Watch Dogs Legion has now come to an end and the game will get no more content updates. Currently, the game’s online services are re-running previous seasonal events for players but eventually, online services for the game will go offline.

“TU 5.6 was our final update for Watch Dogs: Legion”, Ubisoft confirmed. “However, you can look forward to reward tracks in the Online Mode, containing both new and returning rewards. The current season 4 Rebels track, containing 80 ranks, will run until January 22, 2022, followed by Season 5 Stripes. After that, Seasons 3-5 will continue to cycle and return to the game, giving you the opportunity to acquire rewards you might have missed out on in the past.”

We don’t know what the Watch Dogs team will work on next. Perhaps in a few years time there will be a Watch Dogs 4. If that were to happen, I would like to see a return to having a central main character for the main story, with less of a focus on random NPC recruiting.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
