If you missed Watch Dogs 2 when it launched in 2016, this weekend you have a chance to get it for free. All you need to do is log in to your Ubisoft account on the day of the Ubisoft Forward virtual storefront, and Watch Dogs 2 is yours to keep.
The event takes place on Sunday, July 12 and begins at 11 am PDT / 7 pm BST with a broadcast covering news on games including The Division 2, Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Trackmania, and Just Dance 2020. All that will follow the event. main at 12 pm PDT / 8 pm BST, and that will include details on Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Watch Dogs: Legion, Hyper Scape, plus “some surprises”.
The Assassin’s Creed Valhalla news is reason enough to watch Ubisoft’s E3 alternative, but Watch Dogs 2 is a good perk. We found a lot to love about the open world hacking adventure when we reviewed it at launch, writing at the time:
“Watch Dogs 2 builds on the strengths of the original game, while refining aspects that lack depth to deliver a consistent and comprehensive experience. Its diverse cast and (mostly) exhilarating narrative triumph over the sometimes repetitive and maddening shots. , and while Urban Youth Humor occasionally falls apart, for the most part its characters feel, speak and react convincingly. “
Ubisoft has been giving away a lot of games lately. Assassin’s Creed 2 was free in April, followed by Origins a couple of weeks ago, and the recent Play Together Apart campaign attracted a whopping 9 million free game downloads.
Free is good, and these are the best free games out there.
