Prentiss says that there was another, less conventional idea brought up, too: “One of the writers, he said his dream would be to have three or four main protagonists and then do an ‘Avengers’.” To be fair, that doesn’t sound hugely dissimilar to Legion’s Bloodlines DLC, the post-launch pack that will bring Aiden, Wrench and two new characters - an Assassin and a psychic - together.įor the time being, Marcus seems to be off the table for a Watch Dogs return, but I also discussed playing the character with Prentiss, talking through why he loved the character, and how important he thinks Marcus was for Black representation in video games. And obviously Watch Dogs Legion is a very different game where you can play anybody, which is in terms of video gaming in general, it's pretty revolutionary.” This could be the realm of possibility, or it could just continue to have new protagonists with every game. ![]() I think this kind of happened with the Assassin's Creed video games where the first game had one character and then the second game had a character as the lead, who went on to continue to be the lead for a bit. “When we finished the game,” Prentiss explains, “there was this feeling of like, they could go one of two ways. The answer, for now, seems to be “no” – although there have apparently at least been ideas mooted about how Marcus could return. We had a fun time making that game, but it's one of those things where, even when he was announced, I'm getting messages like, ‘Hey, is Marcus coming?’” And the fans, the way they received Wrench, absolutely valid. What he does with that performance and how he's able to maneuver – he was really fun to play with as a partner, but also just wonderful to watch and learn from. And Shawn Baichoo is such a wonderful, fluid, and versatile actor. This isn’t to say Prentiss is upset by the decision. With Aiden Pearce actor Noam Jenkins reprising his role in the new game, it seems unlikely that Ubisoft would recast Marcus - and with Legion on the verge of release, with post-launch DLC already announced, it seems unlikely that Marcus will be making an appearance, at least in the short to mid-term. So I think the realm of possibility still exists, but I have heard nothing from Ubisoft – but if they call, I'd absolutely jump back in.” He's my main partner in crime in Watch Dogs 2. When Aiden was announced I was like, ‘Oh, maybe there's a potential.’ And then of course Wrench is in the game as well. It's one of my favorite things that I've ever done. Speaking to IGN, Marcus Holloway actor Ruffin Prentiss confirmed that he’s not been contacted by Ubisoft to step back into Marcus’ shoes: “I haven't heard from Ubisoft. However, WD2 supporting character Wrench was subsequently announced as a post-launch Legion character, with no mention of Marcus forthcoming. With Wrench’s unpredictable behavior, things are bound to get chaotic.After the announcement of the return of original Watch Dogs star Aiden Pearce in Watch Dogs Legion, many expected Watch Dogs 2’s Marcus Holloway to make an appearance too - not least because it was the ending of the second game that teased a move to a London setting, with Marcus’ story left somewhat open-ended. “With no real allies against a corporate giant, and with Wrench one step ahead of him, Aiden must team up with his estranged nephew Jackson, and rely on his grit and experience. ![]() “ With his fixer contract now gone sideways, Aiden is caught in a deadly crossfire,” reads the game description. Watch Dogs: Legion – Bloodline DLC takes place before the events of the base game, and include quests for both Aiden and Wrench. Now, likely a little pissed, Aiden teams up with his nephew Jackson to hunt the masked Wrench down and recover the goods. However, plans go sideways as he’s interrupted by Wrench, who takes the item that Aiden was sent in to steal. The Watch Dogs: Legion – Bloodline DLC stars Aiden Pearce, who takes a job in London. Bloodline is going to be a new story mission starring the unlikely two, and it’ll launch for PC on July 6. In the Watch Dogs: Legion – Bloodline DLC, Aiden will goes against another series character, Wrench, who was featured in the second game. ![]() Today, during Ubisoft Forward at E3 2021, we know where and when he’ll show. ![]() Ubisoft teased an appearance of the original Watch Dogs protagonist Aiden Pearce in Legion before it ever launched.
