London-based grime superstar Stormzy’s new song Rainfall will headline Watch Dogs: Legion’s soundtrack, and here’s the music video set inside the game’s futuristic London. The Vossi Bop artist – who’s also featured on the soundtrack for NBA 2K21, FIFA 21, and EA Sports UFC 4 this year alone – has been mocapped for the music video, and you’ll see him rapping away in front of landmarks such as Piccadilly Circus and Tower Bridge.
To be fair, this is a really cool use of the game’s engine, as the locations look great. There’s a bit of uncanny valley going on with Stormzy’s character model, but we’re surprised more crossovers like this haven’t been created before – especially at a time when coronavirus is making it challenging to shoot more traditional music videos.
The song itself is written around a sample from Mary Mary’s Shackles, which works really well in our opinion. Your mileage may vary!

That sample works really well.
Not in any way a surprising collaboration this.
I wonder if you can actually play as Stormzy in the game?
@get2sammyb an NSFW warning in the headline or in the article would be nice, for those folks at the office.
6 daze.............and counting.
Showing my age...

@Turismo4GT it was on all day yesterday on BBC NEWS no warning on that free to air channel .
@get2sammyb hehe what unique ability would you give him? the ability to warp from Brixton to Piccadilly Circus.
This is pretty cool to be honest. Word up son.
Yea so im not the only one who is goin to try to recruit stormzy? Let the rain Fool on my enemies sounds like a great ability as it rains in london quite often
@Number09 Better than getting on the tube.
It's like product placement for your product placement!
This is pretty cool. Hope the game turns out well. I loved Watch Dogs 2 but Legion seemingly has a much darker tone.
@Paranoimia It’s all garbage lol
