How to Get Aiden Pearce
There is only one way to get Aiden Pearce for the DLC campaign ofWatch Dogs: Legion: buy the season pass. Players who purchased any special edition of the game will automatically have the season pass. Those who just bought the basic edition can buy the season pass for $40 USD. At this time, there is no indication that there will be another way to unlock Pearce.
Once he’s unlocked, Aiden will be available as part of the main campaign, his own unique story, and the DLC. TheBloodlineDLCwill also feature other familiar faces, including Wrench fromWatch Dogs 2, and Darcy fromAssassin’s Creed. The last character that will be added is a woman named Mina who has mind-control powers. While some players might prefer to play as their own"Play-as-Anyone"Watch Dogcharacter, these four additions will add some interesting changes toLegion.
In addition to theBloodlinesDLC,Watch Dogs: Legionwill have at least one more DLC. Although there are few details available about it, the next DLC could offer significant additions to the main story and is part of the Season Pass.
Watch Dogs: Legionis now available for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One, and will be coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X and S.
