10 Most Anticipated 2020 Video Games
10. Watch Dogs: Legion
Release Date: TBC
Watch Dogs: Legion was originally slated for March 2020, but was recently delayed to an unspecified date within the next fiscal year. We're guessing that it'll be a next-gen launch title this winter, just like Ubisoft intended for the very first game in the series.
While neither of the two Watch Dogs games resonated with players in the way that their pre-release hype pointed towards, Legion is such an exciting step forward for the series' formula that it's hard to not get hyped up all over again.
Legion will once again focus on hacking, allowing the player to cause an untold amount of technology-driven headaches for the tyrannical law enforcement firm Albion, but this time around - instead of controlling a single protagonist - you can take control of pretty much any AI character you encounter in the vast city of London.
The game will use procedural generation to fill every street, alleyway and Greggs bakery with unique citizens, each with different strengths and abilities that you can use in your mission to liberate London. The only rub is that once these characters die, they're gone for good, so there's a risk-reward system at play here which means you'll have to be careful with how you use your recruits.
If Ubisoft's reach can match its ambition then Legion should be an amazing experience, and with Far Cry 2 director Clint Hocking at the helm, this might be the first Watch Dogs game that feels groundbreaking as opposed to pedestrian.
