Watch Dogs Legion 5.5 is now available to play, and as with any new patch, comes with a slew of new content. This one comes with two story missions and two world missions. Additionally, it also includes additional content for the online mode and the single-player campaign.

Watch Dogs: Legion 5.5 – New Missions

The new Story missions coming with Watch Dogs Legion 5.5 will tie closely to another Ubisoft pillar franchise – Assassin's Creed. These are called “Enter the Assassins” and “The New Creed.” Moreover, two free World Missions are also included in the Watch Dogs Legion 5.5 update. These are “Templar Hunt” and “Artifact Hunt.”

Additionally, players with the Season Pass will be able to play as Darcy, a member of the Assassin Order. They will have access to several unique abilities:

  • Hidden Blade – the Assassin's Creed series' iconic weapon. It will improve melee combat and allow players to perform takedowns from any angle.
  • Eagle Drone – the Eagle drone is a scout drone that has the ability to self-destruct. Moreover, it can also emit a short-ranged electromagnetic pulse.
  • AR Disguise – this allows players to assume the appearance of an enemy, allowing them to access restricted locations. In multiplayer mode, this effect extends to allies.
