New Multiplayer campaigns in T-Bone Bad Blood DLC? Sounds interesting... New Watch Dogs coop mode for Street Sweep contracts.
Finally we have the release date - September 23, 2014 with the Season Pass. I thought it will never happened... Finished Watch Dogs so long time ago :)
Watch_Dogs is back with a brand new DLC. Play as T-Bone and take on the Blume Corporation in this all new single player story. Season Pass holders get early access on September 23rd. Bad Blood will be available for purchase on September 30th for everyone!
But why T-Bone, as opposed to Clara or Jordi? Because T-Bone makes sense when it comes to both the story and the gameplay. “We had to look at what each character would bring to the DLC that might make them different from Aiden Pearce without reducing our ability to fully interact with the world,” says Scriptwriter Ethan Petty. In other words, the right character had to excel at hacking, driving and shooting – all core elements of the Watch Dogs experience. “T-Bone is an old-school hacker and engineer heavily linked to ctOS. He’s got a rebel spirit and can take care of himself in a fight. He has an unexplored backstory that gives him a solid reason to fight. And he represents the ‘maker culture’ of hacking, which brings new machines and gadgets to our game.”
Which brings us to what might be the best supporting character in Bad Blood: the remote-controlled Eugene, a mini-car outfitted with a variety of cool gadgets. “Eugene is T-Bone’s kind of pet,” says Content Director Bogdan Bridinel. “Being small, it can easily sneak by enemies and pass through small gaps to reach locations normally inaccessible to T-Bone. It can hack anything that T-bone can, and can be upgraded with cool gadgets like a stun gun or a self-destruction mechanism that creates a big explosion.” Don’t worry if Eugene gets blown sky high; Bridinel reassures us that with the right components, T-Bone can craft the RC car again.
Bad Blood also lets players explore new areas of Watch Dogs’ Chicago. “Our main goal was to bring a breath of fresh air for the player, to let them discover and explore new outdoors and indoors areas,” says Art Director Cédric Humeau. That means new ctOS and Blume offices in the higher-rent districts – along with some deep dives into the darker corners of the Windy City. “T-Bone is a character with a haunted past, and his journey will lead him through unknown, forbidden and abandoned places,” Humeau says. “On the north coast of Pawnee or in the heart of Brandon Docks, new areas will help build the story and immerse the player as he advances in his journey. There is a lot more to this, but we don’t want to spoil this new adventure for you.” (Humeau did let slip one tasty tidbit: we’ll get to explore T-Bone’s new HQ, aka “Junkyard 2.0”!)
STREET SWEEP
Players won’t just get the narrative-driven, secrets-packed campaign with Bad Blood; the upcoming DLC also opens up the new Street Sweep contracts. “Street sweep missions allow T-Bone to acquire more skills and notoriety by dealing with the gangs in Chicago, killing two birds with one stone,” says Game Designer Aurelien Chiron. T-Bone will learn about gang activities from Detective Sheila Billings. Each situation will have several different objectives that range from taking down multiple gang members and destroying their stash, to protecting a witness from being killed. “You are not only weakening Chicago’s criminal gangs but also getting new exclusive perks and Street Sweep tags,” Chiron explains. “The Street Sweep tags are exclusive tokens needed to unlock T-Bone’s new fancy outfits.”
These Street Sweep missions are generated by a new “Street Sweep manager,” offering up unlimited and varied missions. They also have their own leaderboards, and can all be played co-op. “The new co-op mode was something we really wanted to add in the DLC,” Chiron says. “The fantasy of playing T-Bone and a sidekick with your friends to take down some bad guys together was really strong. With the endless Street Sweep content, we had the perfect opportunity to build a co-op mode for the player that adds a lot of replay value!”
Whether you play Bad Blood solo, or jump into co-op with Street Sweeps, the new DLC also offers a new gameplay experience that fits perfectly in Watch Dogs’ world. “T-Bone is mainly different in his personality, his motivation and the way he’s tied to the Windy City,” Chiron says. “In terms of gameplay, you will see T-Bone dealing with close combat differently from Aiden. He has his own little tricks and he won’t hesitate to use them. We also made some changes in acquiring craft materials to make it easier to use all the crafted tools since it fits T-Bone’s style.”
