The new “Watchdogs 2” video features the first episode, which introduces Marcus, DeadSec, and Deadsec’s close friends, namely Wrench, Sitara and Josh, who are all included in the Deadsec hacker group. The presented characters are battling elements that negatively impact society, under major corporations located in the Bay Area.

PlayStationLifestyle reveals that Lucien Soulban, the scriptwriter of “Watchdogs 2,” shared that Marcus is a lot more fun to play, because he belongs to a different part of the hacker community. He is passionate towards the helpless, compared to Aiden Pearce who is solely intent on seeking revenge.

Since then, the first game sold over 10 million copies. According to Ubisoft, they expect a good comeback for “Watchdogs 2,” which could ultimately become one of the game developer’s best-selling games in history.
