Watch Dogs Legion Free Weekend

Watch Dogs: Legion Free-Play Weekend Begins March 25, First Tactical Op Arrives Through Update 3.25

Those who haven’t yet tried Watch Dogs: Legion can do so for free thanks to a free trial weekend beginning on Thursday, March 25. Players who’ve already purchased the game can instead make use of this week’s update, which introduces the first Tactical Op for the game’s online mode.

To make the most of the weekend, players will be able to pre-load the game beginning at 12 PM EDT tomorrow, March 24, on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Once the trial period begins, players will get access to the online and single-player modes. This includes all of the open-world activities like bareknuckle fights, and the campaign as far as the Skye Larsen mission. Of the game’s eight boroughs, four will be open for players to explore including the City of London and Lambeth.

The trial will run until 10 AM EDT on March 29. Those who then decide they want to purchase the full version of the game will be able to continue their progress from where they left off as long as they play on the same platform as the trial. Both the standard and Ultimate Editions of the title will be discounted by 50% from March 24 until March 31, while the season pass will be discounted by 25% during the same period.

Meanwhile, today’s update introduces the delayed first Tactical Op, Leader of the Pack, for the new online mode. A team of four players teams up with a whistle-blower to stop the use of next-level hive-mind based AI from being used in Urban Drone Warfare. This is just the start of the new content for the game’s online mode, though. At the end of May, two new PvP modes will be introduced — Extraction and Invasion — as well as the second Tactical Op called Project Omni. The latter tasks DedSec with infiltrating a secret project and investigating how Optik devices are negatively affecting the brains of those that use them.

Season Pass owners will also get a program of content over the next few months. At the end of April, new playable hero Mina will arrive alongside a new mission. She can use mind control on people thanks to transhuman experiments she’s been subjected to. Two months later at the end of June, Aiden Pearce and Wrench will be introduced alongside the Bloodline storyline. Finally, the fourth new playable hero, Assassin’s Creed‘s Darcy, will arrive in August with more missions.

As well as the new Tactical Op, there’s a plethora of bug fixes and gameplay improvements in today’s Update 3.25 that you can check out in the patch notes below.
