Watch Dogs Legion's new mode fills London with zombies

Zombies are coming to Watch Dogs Legion, which I suppose was inevitable, given that they will consume every game eventually. They'll shamble into the open world hack-'em-up tomorrow alongside update 4.5, in a new mode entitled Legion of the Dead.

This is almost certainly the big surprise teased in a Ubisoft considers it to be in an alpha state. The developer plans to tweak Legion of the Dead based on player .

The mode will offer a 1-4 player roguelite experience, dropping players in a London filled with the undead. IGN has the scoop on the new mode, and you can watch its 20-minute playthrough in the video above, as four players hunt down supply packages before hoofing it to an extraction point. There's a lot of shooting, and not much hacking going on in the mode. But then, I expect it would be quite a challenge to hack a zombie.

Legion of the Dead is coming to Watch Dogs Legion tomorrow.
