After wowing everyone at E3, Ubisoft just showcased the real-time ray tracing capabilities of Watch Dogs : Legion at Gamescom 2019!
Here is our sneak peek of Watch Dogs : Legion, including the new ray tracing game trailer and showcase!
Watch Dogs : Legion
The third instalment of the Watch Dogs franchise, Legion is set in post-Brexit London full of organised crime and pervasive surveillance.
There is no longer a central protagonist. Instead, you can recruit anyone… literally, ANYONE, from the streets and play that character.
Customise Your Team!
You can assemble a team of up to 20 DedSec members, assigning each of them to one of three distinct classes – Enforcer, Infiltrator or Hacker – each with a unique skill set.
Enforcers – can use heavier weapons like assault rifles, and have a shock sticky mine skill!
Infiltrators – can cloak themselves or knock-out enemies by hacking their augmented-reality implants!
Hackers – have access to the Spider Bot, and can hijack military drones!
Take your new operatives out on missions to level up, and gain perks that can be used to modify their class-specific skills!
Fight To Take Back London!
Watch Dogs : Legion also boasts an improved melee system with punches, grapples and dodges. Not only are operatives with melee-boosting traits now more valuable, the whole game can be completed using only melee attacks!
That’s because enemies will only escalate to match your attacks – if you don’t use your guns, enemies won’t use theirs.
The cover-shooting system has also been improved, with a number of non-lethal guns and four non-lethal ammo types – shock, concussion, gas and tranquilliser.
This is important because when your operatives die, they are gone for good. Before they die though, you will get a chance to decide whether to keep fighting (to the death) or surrender.
Get the people of London to join the DedSec resistance and take back their city when Watch Dogs : Legion launches on March 6, 2019!
Watch Dogs : Legion Will Use Real-Time Ray Tracing!
Ubisoft and NVIDIA also jointly announced that the GeForce RTX will be the official graphics platform for Watch Dogs Legion.
This collaboration means that Legion will be utilise real-time ray tracing and other NVIDIA gaming technologies to deliver ultra-realistic visual effects.

The First Watch Dogs : Legion Ray Tracing Game Trailers!
NVIDIA shared with us two Legion game trailers to show off the photo-realistic, real-time ray traced reflections.
In these ray-traced footage, they replaced cube maps and screen space reflections, allowing windows, water puddles, cars and other reflective surfaces to accurately reflect their surroundings.
