Watch Dogs: Legion interview — Recruiting the right crew in Ubisoft’s hacking game

I’ve played Watch Dogs: Legion for multiple previews, and it has been hard for me to get past that the game has no main character. Sure, Nigel Cass (the leader of law enforcement faction Albion) is the central villain. But as the player, you can take control of anyone that you recruit in the city of London as your playable character for the DedSec hacking group.

The message of the game is compelling, as it means that any ordinary person can rise up and make a difference when society falls apart to fascism. The capability to recruit anyone off the street gives you some incredible freedom to take risks as you infiltrate and hack your way inside of Albion and its allies.
