Watch Dogs On Wii U Will Not Offer DLC
Watch Dogs is finally headed to Wii U on November 18, but if you’re hoping for the most complete experience, you’re likely to be disappointed. The version appearing on Nintendo’s console won’t include content expanding on other versions.
The official Watch Dogs Twitter account confirmed the details yesterday. The Wii U version will not have any of the DLC that appears on the other five platforms.
This includes the new Bad Blood story campaign, an additional “digital trip,” the Untouchables Pack, and more weapons and single-player content. Interested in how we felt about Watch Dogs on other platforms? Check out our review.

Our Take
While disappointing, this isn’t terribly surprising. The Wii U versions of multiplatform games have missed DLC opportunities in the past . Especially since Ubisoft told us this was the last mature game the company will publish on the system, it’s no wonder that the expense of DLC porting was deemed too high for potential revenue.

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.
