Watch_Dogs 2 protagonist is Marcus Holloway, learn why you’ll be playing as him

The next hero that players will take charge of in Watch_Dogs 2 is Marcus Holloway. It wasn’t exactly the character that was leaked a little while back, but he does fit in the same type of category — late teen hipster, punk, hacker.

Ubisoft released a new trailer showing off on their new protagonist. As the trailer doesn’t show off much besides Marcus dancing alongside a catchy beat, we did manage to learn a little bit about him during the stream.

Marcus Holloway is a young male who has been wrongly convicted for a crime he did not commit. He is forced to join the secret hacker group, Deadsec, to prove his innocence while bringing down the people who use technology to oppress the citizens of San Francisco
