Rumored Watch Dogs 2 protagonist looks more hipster than the gruff Aiden Pearce

That could end up okay

A lot of things are more interesting than Aiden Pearce and his “iconic cap.” Take this new possible Watch Dogs 2 protagonist for instance, who, while looking like the definition of a hipster, can still apparently hack and shoot things.

The latest rumor comes from thekingcort’s Instagram, noting that he had a “blast” doing motion capture work as a lead character “in a new video game series.” But since people now have to hashtag everything (#blessed) in utter excess, he went ahead and noted the actual game in the post with #WatchDogs2. Not that we wouldn’t be able to guess it anyway.

We already know the game will launch before April 2017, but if he’s to be believed, the main hero won’t be Aiden Pearce (maybe he’ll be there in some capacity on the side), the very definition of generic bland gruff dude, and I’m ok with that.
