Ubisoft's latest bit of crossover content with Netflix gives Watch Dogs: Legion players access to a free Money Heist co-op mission. Also known as La Casa De Papel, Money Heist is a Spanish heist series about a group of robbers whose lofty ambitions see them attempt to pull off a history-making robbery.
This isn't the first time Ubisoft and Netflix have partnered to bring content inspired by one of the latter's original series to the interactive medium. Earlier this year, in fact, the two teamed up by producing a limited-time crossover between the animated series Blood of Zeus and Immortals Fenyx Rising. Players were treated to a Blood of Zeus-themed quest, which featured Cerberus and Chimera as formidable foes. Those who completed the mission received an Eagle pendant as a reward, in addition to a fair few customization options based on the Netflix series. The third Watch Dogs entry counts as the latest Ubisoft-published title to boast Netflix-inspired content.
Today, August 30, Ubisoft unleashed a Money Heist mission in Watch Dogs: Legion's Online Mode. The free co-op mission, titled "Paperless," allows up to four players to launch a crypto heist at the Bank of England, all while donning the Netflix show's trademark jumpsuits and masks. Since Clan Kelley forces have illegally stored millions of counterfeit ETO on the bank's network, groups must infiltrate the Bank of England, disable the firewall, download all available crypto, and retreat across the Thames River without being captured. Players can expect to unlock an exclusive skin upon finishing "Paperless."
The Money Heist mission counts as the second major batch of crossover content that Watch Dogs: Legion has received of late. Less than a week ago, the French publisher rolled out Assassin's Creed DLC, letting players control a member of the Assassin's Brotherhood named Darcy. While Legion's Live Producer Lathiesshe Thillainathan confirmed the crossover isn't canon, the Assassin's Creed fan service alone makes the new character seem well worth a try.
Watch Dogs: Legion launched late last year in October, though developer Ubisoft Toronto delayed the Online Mode by several months. The multiplayer suite finally went live in March of this year, introducing cooperative gameplay and PvP multiplayer modes.
Watch Dogs: Legion is available now across Google Stadia, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S platforms.
