Ubisoft has revealed that its latest Watch Dogs game, Watch Dogs: Legion, will not be receiving any more title updates.



The Watch Dogs: Legion development team confirmed the news in a recent article reminding players of all of the hard work that it had performed for the game, noting that Title Update 5.6 would be the hacker title’s “final update.”



That said, Watch Dogs: Legion players can still look forward to reward tracks in the game’s Online Mode, which will introduce both new and returning awards.



“The current season 4 Rebels track, containing 80 ranks, will run until January 22, 2022, followed by Season 5 Stripes,” Ubisoft explained.



“After that, Seasons 3-5 will continue to cycle and return to the game, giving you the opportunity to acquire rewards you might have missed out on in the past. Some rewards to look forward to is a modified...

So finally it is a complete game then that you can actually play at your own leisure? I'm so sick of this live service nonsense.

For certain titles, I think the live service model can work. However, Ubisoft hasn't a clue how to manage such a game and what's worse is that they need to stop attempting to turn properties that have no business being live service games into them.

And they can choke on NFT's. That's a trend that they are practically leading the charge on and it needs to stop.

i'm most annoyed by the events, that you must play in the small window of time which is usually only a few days. Otherwise you loose the ability to play them, or claim in game rewards for playing them. F That. I can understand these events in multiplayer titles, but it has no place in single player or even coop games.

As for NFTs I'm not shy to boycott any game that have them. As soon as they announced NFTs in Breakpoint, I immediately uninstalled the game. In hindsight I should also have asked for a refund, which they'd decline, but in this case it's the sentiment that counts.

I think uninstalling a game you enjoy over NFT's is a bit too far. Ubisoft got their money from you a long time ago. Uninstalling it now isn't really that clear a message given that a lot of people are done with it anyway in light of the fact that we are well past it's probable final expansion's release. I mean, do what you want but the fact that no one is buying NFT's for Breakpoint tells Ubisoft what we think of them right there. It was also a bit ridiculous since the game is basically at the end of its life cycle. It's also unfortunate since the most recent expansion really turns the game into what it should have been from day one.

I've got 900 hours in the game. I'm not going to stop playing it simply because they added some NFT's no one gives a **** about. I'm also not going to buy them either.

My favorite titles are MMOs, and those games by there very nature are very temporal. The game itself may not change, but it's the players that make the games (or at least for the good MMOs). Every time you log in, it's something new, and if you skip a week you miss a lot; even if there was no new content.

So I'm used to "live service". That said, I acknowledge there is a big difference in missing out on some inside joke versus missing out on some content that gets locked out just to make it more exclusive. The latter does seem counter-productive.
