Watch Dogs: Legion’s latest update brings online play
Along with exclusive single-player content for Season Pass owners
Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs: Legion was the latest open-world offering from the company released in October 2020. The entire game peers into the realm of technological London, some time since Brexit happened. As such, you take command as any normal citizen of London but as a member of DedSec, a group of hackers fighting against authoritative regimes. Overall, the game received mixed reviews due to its uncanny yet vivid storytelling and gameplay.
As such, Ubisoft continues to improve on its product through the addition of new player-friendly features. Starting March 10, players will now have a chance to play with their friends through a dedicated Online Mode. The addition of this new mode comes with the free update patch set to be released on that day, along with several freebies for Season Pass owners.
With the new Online Mode, you now have access to a slew of co-op missions and environments to explore. As such, players can assemble teams of two to four to complete more challenges and explore the rest of London. More co-op features that comes with Online Mode include the “Leader of the Pack” missions and a PvP deathmatch mode.
Along with Online Mode, the new patch also comes with unique single-player missions for Season Pass owners. Watch Dogs: Legion is available now for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through the Epic Games or Ubisoft Store.

ICYMI, BLACKPINK (or K-Pop’s biggest female quartet composed of Jennie, Lisa, Rosé, and Jisoo) started their highly-anticipated ‘DEADLINE’ World Tour just last year.
With Razer’s signature dark black styling paired with BLACKPINK’s bold and iconic pink scheme, this collaboration felt like the perfect match.

This popped right in time as BLACKPINK will hold the Hong Kong stop of their ‘DEADLINE’ tour for three straight days — from January 24 (Saturday) until January 26, 2026 (Monday).
Moreover, these might just be the perfect complement to the quatro’s upcoming ‘DEADLINE’ EP by February 27, 2026.
Might as well, an advanced 10th year anniversary gift this August 2026.

Ubisoft cancels Prince of Persia remake, five other games
The company restructured into five different studios.
One to two decades ago, Ubisoft was one of my favorite game developers. From Assassin’s Creed to Splinter Cell to Prince of Persia, the company was a bastion for unique roleplaying experiences. Now, it feels like they’re tapping into old wells too many times. To try and rekindle the magic, Ubisoft has just restructured the company and, unfortunately, dropped or delayed some titles in development.
One of those canceled titles is the ill-fated Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake. The classic game was a bright spot for the studio prior to the rise of the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Back in 2020, Ubisoft announced a remake of the title. Sadly, it’s been in development hell with nary a peep from the studio. Now, it’s gone for good.
Besides Prince of Persia, Ubisoft also canceled five other titles but refused to name any of them. Plus, seven games were delayed. Though unnamed, one of those titles might be the rumored remake of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag.
The restructuring itself sees Ubisoft split the work among five development teams (via VGC). Vantage Studios, one of those “creative houses,” will oversee Ubisoft’s tentpole franchises including Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry.
The second and third houses will work on competitive games (such as Rainbow Six Siege) and live-service games (such as For Honor), respectively. Meanwhile, the fourth house will handle narrative-driven titles such as Anno and Prince of Persia. Finally, the fifth will work on family-friendly titles such as Just Dance and Monopoly.
