## Reportedly
Ubisoft will attempt to relaunch Watch Dogs: Legion next year via a revamped Director's Cut.
## Legion's Reception
Watch Dogs: Legion launched in 2020 to a tepid reaction and has been rested with no all-new game in development.
## Playable Characters
Legion allowed players to choose from archetypes like builder, hooligan, or spy who could be killed if missions failed.
## DLC and Crossovers
Later DLC added Watch Dogs 1's Aiden Pearce and Watch Dogs 2's Wrench as playable characters, with an Assassin's Creed expansion featuring a non-canonical crossover.
## Creative Director Exit
Clint Hocking abruptly left Ubisoft despite leading development on Assassin's Creed Hexe, calling the experience like working while flaming barrels fell from a construction site.

Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot acknowledged Watch Dogs wasn't named a focus post-restructure but called it 'an important brand for the future'.
