Wrench, the loud-mouthed masked hacker from Watch Dogs 2, will be a playable character in Watch Dogs Legion as a part of the game post-release DLC content. Wrench will be offered as one five characters available in the Watch Dogs Legion: Bloodline season pass, which is expected to go live some time after the game's launch.
Those who played Watch Dogs 2 will instantly remember Wrench, as his preference to wear a mask at all hours of the day certainly helped him stand out amongst the game's cast of characters. The character was also playable in the final mission of the second game, equipped with a grenade launcher.
Ubisoft has also indicated that Wrench will come with his own unique special abilities, but it's not clear what exactly that entails just yet. With many of the game's characters looking to have their own specific gameplay traits, Watch Dogs Legion just might have some of the best replay value we've seen from the series.
Legion's Bloodline season pass will also include Aiden Pearce, the protagonist from the 2014 original. Supposedly the character will even have new storyline within Legion, hopefully filling us all in on what he's been up to over the past six years. Like Wrench, Aiden will come with his own unique abilities as well.
We also know that the DLC pass will include Mina, " a subject of trans-human experiments who possesses the ability to mind-control individuals." Sounding like a character straight out of Cyberpunk 2077, it'll be exciting to see what kind of gameplay elements Mina's abilities bring to the table.
Finally, Darcy, an original crossover character from Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series, will be included in the pass. Like the other characters, Darcy will have her own unique abilities, and we're guessing they'll likely resemble something you'd see in a recent Assassin's Creed entry. You can definitely put your money on there being a hidden blade.

Watch Dogs Legion will be out on October 29, and you can expect to see it on the PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, and Google Stadia. Expect to see the game's Bloodline season pass launch some time soon afterwards, with even more DLC characters expected down the road.
