Weil "Watch Dogs Legion" weiter verbessert werden soll, wurde der Online-Multiplayer auf das nächste Jahr verschoben.
Um "Watch Dogs Legion" zuerst von seinen Fehlern und Problemen zu befreien, hat Ubisoft den Online-Multiplayer auf Anfang 2021 verschoben. Am 26. November 2020 wird das Update 2.20 veröffentlicht (Changelog weiter unten), das unter anderem das manuelle Speichern hinzufügt und Verbesserungen bei der Stabilität enthält.
"Seit dem Launch von Watch Dogs: Legion haben einige von euch weiterhin technische Probleme, die euch daran hindern, das Spiel zu geniessen. Das Entwicklerteam hat sich verpflichtet, diese Probleme zu beheben und wird nicht aufhören, bis alle das Spiel wie beabsichtigt erleben können," so Ubisoft. "Als unmittelbarer nächster Schritt veröffentlichen wir diese Woche das Update 2.20 für PC, PlayStation, Xbox und Stadia. Das Update wird einen Button zum manuellen Speichern des Spiels auf dem PC hinzufügen und weitere Stabilitäts-Berbesserungen für Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S und PlayStation 4 mit sich bringen."
Zur Verschiebung wird gesagt: Als Teil unserer Verpflichtung, die Probleme des Spiels zu beheben, haben wir beschlossen, den Online-Modus von Watch Dogs Legion auf Anfang 2021 zu verschieben. Das wird es uns ermöglichen, uns auf die Behebung von Problemen im Singleplayer zu konzentrieren, und es wird uns mehr Zeit geben, die Online-Erfahrung zu testen, um einen reibungslosen Launch des Modus zu gewährleisten."
Zu kommenden Verbesserungen wird ergänzt: "Wie bereits in unserem letzten State of the Game erwähnt, haben wir im nächsten Monat mehr Verbesserungs- und Lebensqualitäts-Features auf Lager, darunter weitere Stabilitäts-Verbesserungen und Grafik-Optimierungen für den PC, um unser Ziel von konstanten 60 FPS auf höherwertigen GPUs zu erreichen."
