Aiden Pearce may not be the star of Watch Dogs 2

While the likelihood of a Watch Dogs sequel is certain, protagonist Aiden Pearce’s fate is not, Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot said to CVG.

“We knew [Watch Dogs] would be polarising; some people loved the characters and some didn’t. It was difficult to please everybody with that character,” Guillemot said. “Now, having seen the reaction, we know what we will do next to improve that.”

“We are working on that,” Guillemot said after CVG pointed out Aiden’s another “angry white man” in an apparent sea of them. “We want to spend more time on the worlds and characters in our games.

“You will see more and more of this at Ubisoft. We’ll try to be less like we have been in the past with some characters. We’ll try to extend more diversity.”
