Having a tall rectangular shape with perfectly square depth and width, the Xbox Series X is a particularly suitable canvas for artwork and designer XboxPope has added an amazing Watch Dogs: Legion design to their already long list of excellent fan artwork. The design uses the game’s predominant red and blue colors, including the Dedsec icon, along with blue analogue sticks and button labels.

The comparatively subtle use of color and branding give this custom Xbox Series X a modern technical look, without the Watch Dogs: Legion name or imagery dominating the appearance, meaning it would be unlikely to date as fast as some limited edition designs. Despite being fan art, gamers on twitter have quickly been suggesting that they would like to buy the design, that Microsoft and Ubisoft utilize it, and even that the former should take XboxPope on board.
With the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One version of Watch Dogs: Legion featuring a free update to the next generation consoles and featuring futuristic tech inspired design, Ubisoft’s action adventure title is a great candidate for a limited edition console. Despite their name, XboxPope has also created plenty of fan artwork for the PlayStation 5 too. Other recent and upcoming titles to receive designs include Outriders, Hunt Showdown, Cyberpunk 2077, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2, and Star Wars: Squadrons. The latter even featured light side and dark side variants, generating great feedback from fans of the franchise.
With Sony stating that the PlayStation 5 offers customization options for its plates, as well as the rectangular shape of the Xbox Series X, the upcoming console generation looks like being a golden period for console fan-art, especially with skilled artists like XboxPope around. It’s a shame, however, that licensing issues makes it hard for gamers to actually utilize such great pieces of branding and sponsorship. Given how popular their designs are with the gaming community, Sony or Microsoft might be wise to consider the calls from gamers to make use of their skills.
In the meantime, plenty of gamers are looking forward to XboxPope’s next piece of fan art almost as much as the next generation consoles themselves.
Watch Dogs: Legion is due to release on October 29 for Google Stadia, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, with the PlayStation 5 version available November 24, and the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S versions available November 10th.
