Watch Dogs Season Pass Listing Reveals Second Playable Character
It should come as no surprise that Watch Dogs is getting a season pass. It’s an Ubisoft open-world game, after all.
It seems that the post-launch content for Watch Dogs will be taking a page out of the Assassin’s Creed IV playbook. Retailer GameStop is listing a season pass for the title that includes information about a new character. (Disclosure: GameStop is Game Informer’s parent company.)
A new playable character is becoming a trend for story-based DLC. Batman: Arkham City, The Last of Us, and Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag all featured add-on content with a change in protagonist. We’ve reached out to Ubisoft for comment on this, and we’ll update should we receive a response.
Watch Dogs is due out on May 27 on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PC. You can read a recent hands-on preview to get caught up on the latest details.

Our Take
There’s still much we don’t know about the Watch Dogs story and the characters with whom Aiden will interact. If this new character follows the Assassin’s Creed IV path, it will likely be someone we meet in the main game.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
