And a Assassin's Creed character!

[–]FireFlyKOS 150 points151 points  (26 children)

Bro these crossovers and announcements got me hyped again. Season 2 of hyperscape is out, WDL lookin fresh, my wallet boutta be empty.

[–]Heroman237_again 34 points35 points  (23 children)

Assassin's Creed isn't a crossover, they take place in the same universe.

[–]AndyToskovicAiden Pearce 38 points39 points  (15 children)

There are references, but devs said it’s just a joke. Imagine having pieces of Eden and animus in a WD universe, because I surely can’t

[–]the_blue_flounder 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Imagine having that in the Tom Clancy universe, when in Assassin's Creed you can see Sam Fisher's goggles.

It's all references and Easter eggs. But people still insist on connecting universes.

[–]Riot0711 4 points5 points  (4 children)

I could, think about it, using animus tech to make things like the AR Phone games in WD1, and the prices of eden simply being kept by the assassin's when possible.

[–]AndyToskovicAiden Pearce 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Animus has nothing to do with AR in present day

[–]Riot0711 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Yes, but it does have to do with transferring the mind into a simulation of sorts, sorry I didn't mean the AR games, I meant digital trips, ik they r a minigame but the act similarly, I wouldn't be surprised if it has something to do with it.

[–]AndyToskovicAiden Pearce 1 point2 points  (1 child)

You’re free to think whatever you so desire, that’s the beauty of fictional worlds where video games belong. But to me, AC and WD don’t make sense to share the same universe, Templar world domination in WD is way out of place, among many other things

[–]Riot0711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair, I'm not saying it's 100% true or confirmed, however I do highly support the idea, also a lot of people seem to think that easter eggs simply can't be canon when in many other titles they are, specific examples include cod zombies (granted at this point idk if I'd call them easter eggs), FC x AC (a confirmed descendent to each game granted each being different timelines with far cry primal being the origin of a particular ability), and the siege/recons --> Division timeline, and many more.

[–]Chikenman1234ωяε₪ςн 5 points6 points  (8 children)

I can because I truly believe AC and WD are in the same universe and I'm not changing my mind for anybody.

[–]HeySlickThatsMe"Pearce was once a hacker, going after his niece's attacker." 3 points4 points  (7 children)

Even when developer says they're not?

[–]Chikenman1234ωяε₪ςн 9 points10 points  (6 children)

I still believe it. Call me dumb but I still believe it

[–]souleboi 7 points8 points  (5 children)

If it's fiction, nobody can change your mind whether to believe it or not my man.

[–]Kagenlim 7 points8 points  (4 children)

There's more evidence to suggest that they are the same universe, such as the kid playing the assassin creed ripoff in WD1, to the parkour in both games and even the same factions showing up in AC, such as Blume.

Not to mention that both player characters have special abilities, like Focus, along with being extremely skilled in stealth combat.

One developer isn't enough to sufficiently say that a universe isn't canon when so much coordination is seen throughout all Ubisoft games.

It's a UEU (Ubisoft Extended Universe)

[–]HueyDontGoOutside -1 points0 points  (3 children)

Yeah game mechanic clearly indicates that its in the same universe. In GTA and NFS you driver cars, they arę in the same universe

[–]gokwing1o1 2 points3 points  (6 children)

Ubisoft said that the crossover in legion is not cannon to assassins creed

[–]Heroman237_again 5 points6 points  (5 children)

Abstergo and Blume work together, you can find out in Watchdogs 2

[–]Cent3rCreat10n 5 points6 points  (4 children)

Again, references. We had the same thing In watchdogs 1 and Black Flag. Hell there was even a mission where you kill an employee of abstergo in WD1. Ubi said they're just references, Easter eggs. The universe is not the same.

[–]Heroman237_again 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Ah okay my bad

[–]Chikenman1234ωяε₪ςн 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Keep believing. Don't let your mind change for anyone. Mine sure isn't.

[–]AnotherScoutTrooper 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Season 2 of what now?

[–]FireFlyKOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hyper Scape! Ubisoft's Ready Player One BR/Arena Shooter

[–]Hunter5173ÐεÐ$ες 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I remember the easter eggs of assassin's creed and the hints of a crossover. Now an actual member of the brotherhood will be on deadsec. I can't wait to see what the story for the character will be. This will be a fun game to play indeed.

[–]PrinceRajR 16 points17 points  (0 children)

YES!

[–]Xeno1417 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Holy moly assassins creed!!

[–]LemonSqueezy812 11 points12 points  (7 children)

Could this mean a far cry character if they are going this far with crossovers?

[–]badmythology 17 points18 points  (5 children)

AC has been crossed over with Watch Dogs since the first one, not much of stretch at this point. Unsure about Far Cry though

[–]SpectralEntity 10 points11 points  (4 children)

There was an Easter egg in the underground bunker of Far Cry 3.

Edit:

AC is the connecting thread. Realistically, there isn’t a need for a Far Cry or inspired character to appear aside from fan service. If there were, it would probably be a relative of Citra and Vaas. A more fun one would be a callback to Jack Carver!

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Hurk shows up to have you help him save the monkey god

[–]SpectralEntity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There it is, folks! bravo

Heh, or Hurk the Third. Knowing Hurk, he’d name his kid “Hurk, Jr., Jr.”

[–]Tox1cboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If there’s a Far Cry character it HAS to be Rex Power Colt!

[–]FriendlyTrees 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of a far cry crossover, but I don't really see what would make a character distinctly 'far cry.' With AC you've got the hood and the hidden blades and the more versatile climbing/parkour, but all the FC protagonists are more or less ordinary people thrown into extraordinary situations. Definitely wouldn't mind some sort of crossover, but I don't see just sporting over a character working in quite the same way.

[–]TheGreenGobblrχßø₪εχ 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Wait what

[–]Andrew_Waples 13 points14 points  (1 child)

Yup. Her name is Darcy.

[–]KingCobra2121 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can imagine it already

Name: XXXXXX

Strength: stealth and acrobatic

Weakness: may spontaneously jump when climbing

[–]Mysterygameboy 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Which one? Layla?

[–]Andrew_Waples 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, Darcy but she's not canon.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I couldn’t care about the AC one if it’s something to do with origins odyssey or Valhalla tbh

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly if it’s to do with Layla or also as odyssey didn’t have anything to do with assassins lol

[–]Red_ArachnidÐεÐ$ες 234 points235 points  (1 child)

I came, I saw, I blew shit up, I came again.

[–]Jonskuz15†εαм_α!Ðε₪ 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My favourite line from WD2

[–]DroppedFallÐεÐ$ες 172 points173 points  (6 children)

I don't care what it takes. I want at least one interaction between Aiden and Wrench

[–]ExioKenway5†нε_ƒøχ 84 points85 points  (3 children)

The post launch/season pass trailer made it sound like at least Aiden and Wrench will be part of the same storyline that gets added with the characters, although I could be misinterpreting it.

[–]DroppedFallÐεÐ$ες 16 points17 points  (2 children)

Thats what I figured too. Fingers crossed

[–]ExioKenway5†нε_ƒøχ 11 points12 points  (1 child)

It would be cool.

[–]TheMightyLooneyTuneßεÐßµ9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😏

[–]NotTheMediaRaptor 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Aiden: The serious parent who lost their wife and doesn't know how to open up.

Wrench: the caffeine-addicted problem child they had adopted before his wife died.

Can Wrench help Aiden open up and find love again? Or will s!$% just blow up?

[–]dmotheproducer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hat is all I need

[–]anxrky_has_big_eggs 74 points75 points  (3 children)

Ubi: There will be no returning characters in WatchDogs Legion. Also Ubi :

[–]Cute-Vehicle-8915 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Maybe pre orders weren't so high

[–]A_British_Lad 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Well this made me buy the gold edition so it worked

[–]Cute-Vehicle-8915 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm close, would just be for the characters though

[–]VD3NFS1216 53 points54 points  (3 children)

Dude, we got a Grandma, we got Aidan Pearce, now we got Wrench! This is shaping up to be the best Watch Dogs game yet. I’m counting the days...

[–]LiquidSnake13 26 points27 points  (2 children)

Can we has Marcus too?

[–]Kagenlim 13 points14 points  (1 child)

Add T-Bone too!

[–]_Beaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be cool to get T-Bone as a side character again

[–]oceankingBagley 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Wait

What

Yes

YES

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points  (2 children)

Any news about T-Bone in legion?

[–]Oceanman10120†εαм_α!Ðε₪ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There's probably gonna be alot of Legacy characters in WD.

[–]chuchumeitor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He's probably going to be an NPC. This man has had an appearance in all Watch Dogs games so far

[–]the1blackguyonreddit 66 points67 points  (2 children)

Where's Marcus? 😕

[–]Oceanman10120†εαм_α!Ðε₪ 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Probably one of the Free DLC characters or Easter egg. Or maybe future plans of DLC.

[–]Zamio1 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My question too. Ngl, really was hoping he'd make his way in. Hopefully they keep including new characters and he's one of them.

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I FUCKING KNEW IT! He legitimately fits so well with the rather futuristic style London has, especially with that mask!

[–]TheNUTRONIC 14 points15 points  (0 children)

[–]Dr-Do_Mk2 70 points71 points  (4 children)

To be honest, this whole "battle pass" would sell me on the game instantly if it was included in the actual retail version. As it stands, I'm interested.

I mean, Aiden, Wrench, a full-on mutant, and a freaking Assassin? Sign me the heck up.

EDIT: "SEASON pass." I don't play many video games.

[–]KinoTheMysticAgent of B.L.U.M.E. 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It's called a season pass. A battle pass is different.

[–]badmythology 7 points8 points  (2 children)

wait, a mutant? Is there a list of these extra characters somewhere ?

[–]ExioKenway5†нε_ƒøχ 11 points12 points  (1 child)

There's a post launch trailer that explains it all. It's on pretty much all of the watch dogs/Ubisoft YouTube channels.

[–]badmythology 6 points7 points  (0 children)

thank you !

[–]PugDudeStudios 10 points11 points  (0 children)

All these cool ass Characters and i'm still only going to play as Aidan and a Old Grandma

[–]Adrianthebatman 27 points28 points  (4 children)

I want 47 in legion

[–][deleted] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

47, a master assassin, is about to shoot up an entire street

[–]TalbotFarwell 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If we’re doing characters from other series, I think Sam Fisher would get the nod first since Splinter Cell is already an Ubisoft IP. I’d love to see 47 in the game too, though!

[–]souleboi 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Perks: Silenced Pistol and a Homing Briefcase

[–]Adrianthebatman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya lol. Not just any pistol tho, dual ballers

        ok now add shaun and rebecca

        [–]fecesmuncher69(Edit This Text) 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        Any predictions as for his abilities besides being a badass? I think he’s gonna get a special GL like the one he played with in the end of 2, and maybe a sledge hammer because he also used it in 2? Or, maybe wrench junior, instead of a spider bot you get a kid sized RC robot? Idk but I’m hyped

        [–]MidnightJ1200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        Wrench? And wrench’s mask?!

        [–]911child 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        Apparently the assassin’s creed thing not cannon, just fan service.

        “She’s not canon, it’s purely a fan service from our side and also the [Assassin’s Creed] side,” Said Thillainathan who added that the Legion team is “not trying to build a joint universe between [Watch Dogs and Assassin’s Creed].”

        Source

        BUT they are connected. AC Black Flag talks about Blume and how Abstergo is interested in CToS and WD1 has you kill olivier garneau, who is in Black Flag and goes missing in Chicago.

        [–]reddorer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        Yes my favourite character from watch dogs 2

        If this is true why spoil it

        [–]Deebz__ 1 point2 points  (1 child)

        Because using fan service to sell the game > writing a good story lol

        [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        I'm already a fan of the games. I just feel like that would of been an awsome suprise. Now its like eh cause I now know aiden and wrench are going to be in the game. When they make a cameo appearance it won't be a suprise. Probably gotta leave the sub.

        wait will he be a free character or will he be paid dlc

        [–]ExioKenway5†нε_ƒøχ 7 points8 points  (5 children)

        One of the 4 special characters as part of the season past alongside Aiden Pearce, someone who was experimented on and developed mind control powers and an Assassin's Creed assassin.

        have they said how much the season pass will cost

        [–]ExioKenway5†нε_ƒøχ 3 points4 points  (3 children)

        I'm not sure, I believe as of now it's not yet available as a standalone purchase. That'll probably change after launch though.

        [–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (2 children)

        i kinda hate the fact that you need a season pass go get the best character in the watch dogs games, but hey companies need money i guess

        [–]ExioKenway5†нε_ƒøχ 2 points3 points  (1 child)

        Yeah, it's not great for us as the customers. I can't really complain too much about it though without being a hypocrite seeing as how I've already bought into this kind of thing countless times before.

        [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        thats fair, this kinda thing in other games makes me less likely to buy the game as it feels like to get the best experience id have to pay, but ill probably end up getting it because i love this series and wrench and aiden

        I can’t Imagine they wouldn’t include Marcus at some point. From what it sounds like in the trailer there’s still more characters coming.

        It should be like "hey you own watchdogs and watchdogs 2, here, you get Aiden and Wrench free.
