Ubisoft showed me a new slice of gameplay for Watch Dogs: Legion, the third in the popular series that pits hackers against the authorities in modern cities. The game debuts October 29 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, and Stadia. It will also hit the Xbox Series X on November 10 and PlayStation 5 in November 12.

The new action-adventure game is set in a near-future London, where your job is to expose crimes and corruption in the surveillance state. The game arrives at a tough time for the French video game publisher, which spent a lot of the summer dealing with accusations of sexual impropriety by key executives.
