Players can already look forward to playing a mission with UK rapper Stormzy in Watch Dogs: Legion, which will be included with the game when it launches.
Ubisoft has promised more information in the coming days about post-launch content, including free content that will be available to everyone. Perhaps one of the characters will be Marcus Holloway, the lead character of Watch Dogs 2. The Watch Dogs: Legion season pass will also include an additional story expansion split across two story arcs, extra DedSec missions, and three other unique characters that have yet to be revealed. Given his falling out with DedSec, Aiden's reintroduction to the group is sure to be bumpy, though his voiceover in the reveal trailer indicates Aiden has specifically come to London to aid in the fight against the government and private military contractor Albion. As Watch Dogs: Legion is set in the near-future, Aiden is older and more grizzled in appearance, though still featuring his " iconic" hat. Most of the NPCs of Watch Dogs: Legion will be randomly generated, but Aiden Pearce will be one of four unique characters included in a season pass for the game. Aiden will come with his own story content, though the specifics of why Aiden is London or when he will come to Watch Dogs: Legion have not been revealed. Why Aiden Pearce is in Watch Dogs: Legion Although Aiden and DedSec could hack into local control towers to gain access, the breach would have secretly given DedSec control over the entire system. Aiden's refusal broke his relationship with DedSec, and after the events of Watch Dogs he disappeared and became a lone vigilante. Aiden was seen again briefly in Watch Dogs 2 when lead character Marcus aids him in breaking up a human trafficking ring in an optional mission. Their relationship went bad, however, when Aiden refused to give DedSec the time they needed to breach ctOS, the electronics system that connected everything from traffic lights to surveillance in Chicago. A hacker out for revenge for a job gone bad, Aiden was recruited by DedSec when he worked in Chicago.

Players will have a roster of NPCs at their disposal and can switch who they are playing in Watch Dogs: Legion at any time. Instead, players will be able to recruit and play any of the NPCs of the London, each of which have their own skill sets and specialties. Watch Dogs: Legion is taking the unique approach of not featuring a lead character in the game.

Aiden will be one of four unique characters available in the season pass, which will also include a copy of the complete edition of the original Watch Dogs. Each also comes with new abilities: Aiden can aim in slow-mo after a takedown, gets a damage buff with a well-timed reload, or disable nearby electronics with a System Crash. Both Aiden and Wrench are playable during Bloodline’s story, and with the Season Pass or an in-game purchase, they can be added to your DedSec Resistance in the main campaign or in the Online mode.
