Creative Director of Watch Dogs Legion spoke about the system of permanent death and its impact on the plot

During announcement Watch Dogs Legion at E3 2019 showed viewers an excerpt from the gameplay. In it, one of the characters recruited into DedSec dies, and the user chooses another character. Game Creative Director Clint Hocking interview GamingBolt told in more detail how the system works and whether team losses affect the overall course of the story.

The head of Watch Dogs Legion said that the tasks are thought out so that they can be completed by absolutely any character. If one of the members of DedSec dies, another one takes his place, and the global plot continues from the same moment. The recruited individuals have their own history, but as part of the group they all work towards a common goal - the liberation of London from authoritarian rule.

Clint Hawking also commented on permanent death: “This mechanic carries risks. Users, when injured, can either surrender or continue fighting. In the first case, the character will go to prison, from where he can be released by controlling another member of DedSec, or he will be released after a certain period. If you resist arrest after the first injury, then the next critical condition will lead to permanent death.

Watch Dogs Legion will release on March 6, 2020 on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
