Aiden Pearce, the star of the first Watch Dogs game, will return as a playable character in Watch Dogs: Legion, the third game in the hacker open-world series arriving on October 29.

Due to popular demand for the character, Ubisoft said it was adding Pearce in a game that had no main character, as you could play as virtually any citizen of London in Watch Dogs: Legion. He will be available to those who get the Season Pass.
