Watch Dogs: Legion won’t get multiplayer modes until early next year – Gaming – News

Watch Dogs: Legion should have gotten its multiplayer modes next week, but Ubisoft has delayed its release. The online mode will follow early next year, as the creators first want to resolve current issues in the single player part of the game.

In a statement Ubisoft says that some players are dealing with “technical issues that prevent you from enjoying the game”. The publisher says the development team is committed to fixing those problems. For a number of issues, the company is bringing an new patch for PC, PS4, Xbox One and Xbox Series S and X. In addition, this update introduces a number of non-performance enhancements, such as the ability to manually save games on PC.

However, not everything has been solved with this patch. In order to spend more time on solving the problems with the single player, it has been decided not to release the multiplayer modes on December 3, but sometime early next year. According to Ubisoft this means more time is also freed up to test and properly release this online experience. These multiplayer modes involve all kinds of pvp challenges, but also a special Robot Wars pvp mode and missions and free-roaming for two to four players in co-op.

Ubisoft says more improvements and quality improvements will be released for Watch Dogs: Legion next month, such as stability improvements and further graphics optimizations for the PC, “to achieve our goal of a consistent 60fps for relatively powerful GPUs.” Stability issues have been reported by a variety of players on a variety of platforms, including crashes and glitches. The Xbox One X can also have a 404 mission bug, where the One X can overheat, after which a crash can occur. Tweakers recently published a review van Watch Dogs: Legion.
