The third installment of the world's most famous hacker saga, Watch Dogs Legion, will arrive on November 10th alongside the Xbox Series X/S. Our adventure begins in a London of the future. There, we will have to create our own resistance to avoid what is to come. The politicians are ruining the city and hard times are coming, so we will have to avoid that political catharsis at all costs. For the first time in the saga we will not use one protagonist, but several characters from the game. You've read correctly, almost anyone we see in the city will be able to be recruited and controlled. From a cab driver, to a nurse or an executive who goes to work, to homeless people and bankers. The game will give us total freedom to explore what lies behind each character and discover their daily routines. The multiplayer will be important in Watch Dogs Legion that will allow us to play online with up to three allies and, with them, we will be able to complete missions and special challenges.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon
From SEGA comes the new installment of the Yakuza saga. This time, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has been in charge of developing this role-playing game by turns. It's a radical change from the traditional beat'em up. We'll be playing Ichiban Kasuga, a troubled boy who was abandoned when he was very young. Kasuga has grown up on the street and after a fight, he ends up sending the wrong person to the hospital. Chased by the yakuza, we have to fight everyone in different fights by turns in a contemporary Yokohama. This time, the turn-based combat will not be totally static, as SEGA has promised to have the most dynamic battles in the genre.
Tetris Effect: Connected
Tetris Effect was one of the surprises of 2018, and with Connected, the studio promises us a new, even more competitive, multiplayer version. But we must not forget that Tetris also has online and local cooperative modes. Tetris like you have never seen, felt or heard before.

You will join and help the factions, and through your actions you will be able to change the destiny of the world. The attractive title has several campaigns, different types of characters and birds, an equipment system and cosmetic improvements, and many secondary missions.
