Watch Dogs: Legion: Collector's Edition - What’s Inside
By Chaz Frazer
Watch Dogs: Legion: Collector’s Edition is coming to next gen, and here is everything you can expect in the set, as well as how much the limited edition collection will cost you. Initially planned for a release on March 6, 2020, Watch Dogs is known for its open-ended gameplay, and Legion is supposed to up the ante by introducing the innovative ability to play as any NPC in the game.
Delayed back on Oct. 2019 by developer Ubisoft until their fiscal year 2021 (April 1, 2020), and then pushed back further until the release of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in late holiday 2020, Ubisoft has regardless continued to promote the release of the game, taking interviews and updating fans on how the updated hardware of soon to be released consoles will enhance the gaming experience - going so far as to have Watch Dogs: Legion Creative Director Clint Hocking conduct an in-game interview with a BBC reporter from their Toronto Studios, in an entirely virtual experience.
Watch Dogs: Legion is planned to launch with four separate purchase options - Standard, Gold, Ultimate, and Collector’s. While officially the Collector’s Edition will for $190 USD, expect to pay up to $350 USD from online resellers as the Collector’s Edition pre-order is sold out at many retailers, and coming across one in the wild might be as rare as low-encounter shiny Pokemon.
