London faces a collapse in Watch Dogs: Legion. Amongst the growing anarchy of a restless London, an unknown entity called Zero-Day has framed secret underground resistance DedSec for organized bombings across the capital. Afterwards, criminal opportunists in many corners of London filled the void left by a defeated government. As a member of DedSec, players will have to be prepared for a variety of challenges, including criminal opportunists, sadists, cybercriminals and mercenaries in Watch Dogs: Legion. Players must recruit new members into the DedSec resistance to fight these criminal opportunists, liberate London again and uncover Zero-Day’s identity.
