Watch Dogs: Legion has been revived via a brand new interactive expertise, though it maybe isn’t the sequel you’re hoping for.

The upwards trajectory of the collection, nonetheless, suffered a serious setback with Watch Dogs: Legion, which reportedly underperformed commercially and should have put any future video games on ice.
Ubisoft hasn’t deserted the franchise although, as made clear by a brand new interactive audio journey referred to as Watch Dogs: Truth, which has been launched on Audible.
Serving as a direct follow-up to Watch Dogs: Legion, Watch Dogs: Truth picks up in the identical post-Brexit London setting and as soon as once more follows hacktivist group DedSec, together with returning sentient AI Bagley, as they attempt to cease the federal government’s cyber intelligence pressure.
While predominantly an audio drama, it options narrative decisions on the finish of every episode which can decide Dedsec’s subsequent transfer within the story.
The foremost promoting level is perhaps the good voice forged. T’Nia Miller, identified for Netflix’s The Haunting Of Bly Manor and The Fall Of The House Of Usher, performs Connie, alongside The Walking Dead’s David Morrissey, Freema Agyeman from Doctor Who, Looking actor Russell Tovey, and Gary Beadle – who’s maybe finest often known as Paul Trueman in EastEnders.
The complete collection spans roughly six hours in whole (though this would possibly rely in your decisions) and is available now for £19.99, or you will get a 30-day free trial to Audible and hearken to all of it totally free.
This isn’t the primary time Ubisoft has teamed up with Audible for a spin-off audio journey. In 2020, the corporate launched Assassin’s Creed: Gold starring Riz Ahmed and Buffy’s Anthony Head.
While a correct Watch Dogs recreation is perhaps out of the query for the foreseeable future, Ubisoft is clearly hoping to offer the franchise a second wind via different media, together with a Watch Dogs film which began production in the summertime.
Directed by Mathieu Turi, the Watch Dogs movie is ready to star Tom Blyth (The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds and Snakes) and Sophia Wilde (Talk To Me), however no launch date has been introduced.
