The game is implied to take place quite some time in the future, and indeed the trailer revealing Aiden's DLC portrays he as quite a bit older. Given that Ray was already quite old in 2, it's possible that age, or possibly Blume's fixers, finally caught up to him.

[[WMG: [[VideoGame/SplinterCell Sam Fisher]] will be a DLC character]]
They’ve already put him in Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six Siege, so it wouldn’t be much of a stretch if they tried to get more people to buy the Season Pass by including a popular GuestFighter.

[[WMG: Nigel Cass and Mary Kelly, while definitely evil, are only small cogs in a larger piece of London's rotten underbelly]]
The two of them are working on opposite extremes of the law and are most likely working under another conspiracy that they're either part of, unaware of each other, or it's a case of EvilVsEvil. The real villain could be someone like Dusan Nemec from 2 who's using what amounts to ctOS 3.0 to play every side from DedSec, the Mob and even Albion like chumps.

[[WMG: The corporations that appeared in Watch_Dogs 2 will play a role]]
Since London is controlled by ctOS, it's safe to assume that Blume will at least play a background role. Tidis could possibly be the ones supplying Albion with their riot drones, realising the San Francisco DedSec's fears of ctOS tech being used in robots against civilians.

[[WMG: Aiden and Bay Area Dedsec will only be mentioned]]
They probably won't appear in the game, if London is such a crapsack city, I can't imagine how terrible the situation is in the US. Still, Aiden is probably known in the hacker community around the world for being the ultra violent vigilante of Chicago and Marcus and his pals are the first ones who were able to give a good lesson to Blume in San Francisco (even if it wasn't enough to diminish the corporation's influence in the rest of the world apparently). They have nothing to do in London but they're probably legends among Dedsec members.

[[WMG: The Spiderbot will appear again]]
Given how in the second game Titus was making it for "Riot control" and Albion is fielding "Riot" drones armed with high caliber ballistics and even missiles, so perhaps the Spiderbot appears as a boss, or another test version to be hacked

[[WMG: Some of the enemy leaders will be knock-offs of real-life British polticians and media figures.]]

Although Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment will have [[MaddKossack115 this Troper]] refraining from identifying the potential {{Expy}}s by name, the fact that Legion is explicitly set in [[DayOfTheJackboot a "highly nationalist" and totalitarian London]] ([[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical in what's highly implied to be a post-Brexit England]]). That alone means the enemies being made of {{EvilBrit}}s is guaranteed, but coupled with how VideoGame/WatchDogs2 had [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed not-so-subtle stand-ins for real-life figures]] who were [[RippedFromTheHeadlines involved with then-current events]], may result in some of the named enemies being modified versions of IRL figures of Britain's right to far-right. Possibilities can be divided into three groups:

* {{CorruptPolitician}}s: Although some trailers have said that [[GovernmentInExile the British government has "fucked off"]], it is likely [[GovernmentConspiracy some leading figures in it were responsible]] for green-lighting [[MegaCorp Albion]] [[OneNationUnderCopyright taking control of London]]. While it's unlikely that [[NonActionBigBad these politicians will directly engage in combat]] (leaving that role to [[JustYouAndMeAndMyGuards their personal security forces]]), they would certainly be high-priority targets for [[LaResistance DedSec]]. It may even be possible that the game's BigBad is a [[PresidentEvil Prime Minister Evil]], or at least forms a BigBadDuumvirate with [[CorruptCorporateExecutive the CEO of Albion]].

* [[ANaziByAnyOtherName White nationalists]]/[[RightWingMilitiaFanatic "British" nationalists]]): Being [[LesCollaborateurs fanatically devoted to Albion and/or the politicians responsible for Albion's involvement]] (whilst "technically" being a separate group from the later two groups, [[DealWithTheDevil despite ties from them in exchange for their support]]), these nationalist groups may serve as a StarterVillain for [=DedSec=], to weaken and destroy them first before taking the fight directly to Albion. The rank-and-file of these nationalist groups will serve as TheGoomba, with them acting more like FootballHooligans (i.e. using their bare fists, melee weapons), and at most handguns compared to the [[HiredGuns Albion mercenaries]] [[EliteMooks armed to the gills with assault rifles and body armor]]. The leader(s) of these nationalist groups will be [[TheBrute more hands-on than most of the other villains]], requiring the player to use "physical" operatives (such as [[FightClubbing street fighters]]) to [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown punch them out of commission]].

* "Internet Personalities": Seeing as VideoGame/WatchDogs2 brought up the concept of social media impacting the real world, it's likely that Albion and/or the politicians backing them will use some sympathizing ([[MoneyDearBoy or just plainly bribed]]) social media pundits in to serve the PropagandaMachine, to [[VillainWithGoodPublicity save Albion's face in the eyes of the public]], [[HeroWithBadPublicity smear DedSec relentlessly]] as [[YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters "terrorists undermining Western values"]], and overall [[MouthOfSauron spread the political agenda of Albion/its backers]]. These enemies [[PuzzleBoss may require more technological means of neutralizing them]], using [[PlayfulHacker hacker operatives]] to do things such as [[HollywoodHacking hacking into guarded servers]] to fry their social media accounts, or to use hacked objects to [[InstantHumiliationJustAddYouTube turn them into media laughingstocks]] (the way VideoGame/WatchDogs2 had Marcus hack objects purely to {{Troll}} certain enemies, such as hacking [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Steven Bader's]] treadmill so that [[AmusingInjuries it sent him flying off it]].)

[[WMG: Aiden, Marcus and T-Bone can end up recruited into the cause]]
However either of them end up in a totalitarian post-Brexit England, they'll be people who know ctOS in and out and this is not the first time they've done this kind of thing before. Whether they're part of the story or DLC, it'll be interesting to see.

[[WMG: Permadeath can be turned off, if not a Hardcore mode option]]
While there have been easy, normal and hard modes in the games, permadeath mode would be more if you're quite sure of your skills, especially if it's part of a Hardcore difficulty option where the only way to get that particular character back is to restart the game.
