The T-Bone DLC for Watch Dogs 2 has received a new release date from Ubisoft, which got delayed because of the issues with the game’s seamless online multiplayer feature.
Fans who were interested in getting their hands on the DLC next week may be disappointed at this news, but Ubisoft at least has an excuse for the delay. First of all, Ubisoft had to pull development resources away from the expansion pack to focus on fixes and updates to stabilize Watch Dogs 2’s online multiplayer functionality, which was broken from the start. With the multiplayer being fixed now, Ubisoft can once again start concentrating on Watch Dogs 2’s post-launch content.
So while fans have to wait a bit longer to play the DLC, at least Ubisoft had a good reason for its delay and didn’t release it unfinished. The DLC in question is themed after a fan favorite character, T-Bone, and if Ubisoft made a mess of his DLC, it could make fans tired about trusting the studio to do a good job with the remaining expansions planned for the game.
Alongside the T-Bone DLC comes a new co-op challenge for players to tackle, T-Bone’s attire for protagonist Marcus Holloway to wear, a new enemy type to fight, as well as a brand new vehicle in the form of T-Bone’s modified school bus. And with the seamless online multiplayer functionality now being fixed, gamers will have the ability to bring some of this content into the game’s online world to create chaos with strangers.
While on the subject of creating chaos, Ubisoft is looking to bring additional focus to the T-Bone DLC by releasing the T-Bone Chaos Event the same week it’s released for PS4, on December 19th. T-Bone’s Chaos Event is scheduled to last four weeks, and will allow players to unlock bonus cosmetic items for vehicles as well as Marcus.
Watch Dogs 2 is currently available for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
