In a recent Reddit AMA, Lathieeshe Thillainathan, Producer on Watch Dogs: Legion, shared some new details about it. According to Thillainathan, Watch Dogs Legion will not require a constant internet connection, and will offer an offline mode. Furthermore, Ubisoft plans to add cross-play support between all platforms via a post-launch update.
As Thillainathan said when asked about an offline mode for the game’s single-player campaign:
“You can play single-player offline, but you won’t be able to see all the community photos or take in-game pictures and share them out.”
Thillainathan confirmed that Watch Dogs Legion will have cross-progression across all our platforms at launch. However, cross-play will be coming as an update in Year 1. Unfortunately, there is no ETA on when this feature will be added to the game.
Watch Dogs Legion will also receive lots of free content. However, the game will also have micro-transactions. According to Thillainathan, the game will only have cosmetic microtransactions. Still, the game will also have tons of free cosmetic options.
Watch Dogs Legion releases on October 29th, and here are also its official PC requirements.
Stay tuned for more!

Peak diversity: they even have Eldritch Horrors working on their games
Straight out of Lovecraft. Unpronouncable.
Lol
we knew that months ago i think i pointed it out here or another site, on twitter one of the devs answered to someone asking if this is always online.
I have seen tons of gameplay, the gameplay is pretty good, lots of options due to different players, but the characters are unbearable cringe.
“You can play single-player offline, but you won’t be able to see all the community photos or take in-game pictures and share them out.”
Ow my How can one play – nay, live! without such a deep , well thought out implementation of multiplayer!?
We “do” live in an era where people post pictures of their lunch on Facebook, and think anyone anywhere gives an actual f**k.
I mean…. I guess it’s important to “some” people? I don’t know really……
On pc you need an internet connection also for single player cause the game will use denuvo lol
It’s Epic only so they already got their money from Timmy
DoA
No its not, you can also get it on UBIs store front. Stop Lying!
Amen to f#cking that!
This is like saying: “Breaking news: Games will have no 30 FPS cap” lol, its a shame to even talk about it in 2020. Sure it needs to be offline for single player games and sure the game mechanic/physics should not be locked to the FPS like some games (even some new games) are and ofc with unlocked frame rate (60-120 Hz and up monitors/TVs exist).
I think everyone is thinking Bethesda when you right that, my first thought
To this day i bet Fallout 6 will lock physics to the framerate
Why the hell does that matter, when I can easily take pics via GFE and upload them at my own leisure, anywhere I want?.
God that’s some dumb crap as an excuse for an “offline mode”.
Not sure you understand the article. It’s not an excuse, he’s mentioning some things you won’t be able to do in offline mode.
“Will have a offline mode”
Man i hate modern gaming ALL GAMES should be focused on this primary with online being nothing more then a add-on.
The golden era of gaming has returned. When we have to highlight that the game has a “single player” component. Bask in the glory.
it hasnt
Ubisoft needs to understand that an offline mode for Watch Dogs 3 is always important. More options are a good thing. Many games should never have a forced always-online connection because it will cause problems.
f*king A !!!
