The 'hacks' also still seem to be rolling out at the time of writing, as the pig-masked character has shown up on For Honor, several Far Cry games, and Steep. The campaign ranges from a set of sticker details on the Deluxe Edition of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege to a full character replacement on Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection. Twitter's Wario64 was one of the first to point out the changed box art, posting high-resolution images of the promotional covers. In an attempt to help get the word out about Watch Dogs: Legion (and potentially confuse a whole lot of buyers), a whole swath of Ubisoft's Xbox One titles have been 'hacked' to include the game's smoking pig mascot on their box art.

Said DLC will also include an additional story campaign featuring Aiden Pearce from the original Watch Dogs as well as masked hacker Wrench from Watch Dogs 2. In its most recent Ubisoft Forward digital event, the publisher announced that the game would cross over with the Assassin's Creed franchise unofficially as part of its DLC season pass. It's no surprise that Ubisoft is tapping into its other franchises to promote the upcoming open-world action game.

The game, which was delayed past its original March release date in late 2019, will be a launch title for both next-gen consoles in addition to its current-gen, PC, and Stadia release on October 29. Legion is the third game in the Watch Dogs series, shifting the action from America to the UK to follow a new group of hackers trying to take down a totalitarian government. Ubisoft is going all out in the promotion of the upcoming Watch Dogs: Legion, and that includes updating box art of its older games to depict DedSec, the lead hacker characters from the Watch Dogs universe.
