A second character cropped up alongside protagonist Aiden Pearce at the end of the Watch Dogs trailer... Turns out, that character was being controlled by producer Dominic Guay, who has offered more details about exactly what he was doing there.
“Online is the DNA of Watch Dogs. It’s super important to us. Our motto is everything is connected, and connection is power, ” said Guay in an interview with
VG247. “So we couldn’t announce our game and not at least tease online, but it was a tease, I’ll be honest.
“So, basically, Jonathan [Watch Dog's director] was playing Aiden Pearce at the conference, and I was playing another character who hacked into him and had his own objectives, and we crossed paths – basically two players crossing paths with their own objectives. So, hopefully that gives you an idea of where we’re going with this. We definitely want to blend in mulitplayer, online, and singleplayer in a way that hasn’t been done before.”
