Via the Bloodline DLC

A piece of key art for Watch Dogs Legion’s Bloodline DLC, showing Aiden Pearce and Watch Dog 2’s Wrench in the middle of London.

Look, I know some of you like Aiden Pearce and the original Watch_Dogs. I’ve seen you on Twitter talking about how it was grittier than the games that followed. You thought Aiden was dark and haunted, like a Batman who fell down a well and landed in a cave filed with baseball caps.I happen to think you’re wrong, but I’m happy for you, really. The newWatch Dogs: LegionBloodline DLC is out now, and it adds a bearded Capman to the most recent of Ubisoft’s hackfests.Watch Dogs: Legion - Bloodline Announce TrailerWatch on YouTubeBloodline is about Pearce and the masked hacker Wrench fromWatch Dogs 2heading seperately to Legion’s London in pursuit of a device that will allow whoever owns it to control an army of robots. You’ll play as both characters at different points of the story. It is, generally, the mixture of sneaking, hacking and cracking heads you expect from all previous flavours ofWatch Dogs.This is the first major story DLC for the open world game since it launched last year, and Bloodline’s release date has been moved around a few times. It’s less interesting to me than the reintroduction of multiplayer modes about hacking other players, which are onthe roadmap to be added to Legion in August.To get a fuller picture of my views on Pearce, you couldread my review of the original Watch Dogsfrom back in 2014. I describe him as “mild”, which is a cutting burn, you’ll agree. I’d also argue that as a game, it’s “dark” only in the sense that women have no agency at any point during its story.Anyway, Legion is better, and maybe that’ll lift Pearce to new heights. Alice B is playing it right now and will offer some proper thoughts soon.
