Creative Director recounts how it was the integration of characters from games passed to Watch Dogs Legion.
Watch Dogs Legion recently unveiled its long-term content plans, including both free updates and multiplayer modes as well as a new campaign called Bloodlines, exclusive to season pass purchasers. Something that stands out about this campaign is that it integrates characters from past games such as Aiden Pierce (Watch Dogs) and Wrench ( Watch Dogs 2 ), as well as the first character from the Assassin’s Creed universe to crossover with the hacker game from Ubisoft.

Hocking confessed that it was a difficult challenge because it involved the game’s script being rewritten to make way for these characters.
