There's a new trailer for the first major post-launch update for Watch Dogs Legion, and it's jam-packed with features coming to the game tomorrow, May 4.

Title Watch Dogs Legion Update 1 includes both free and paid Season Pass content. First up is a brand new playable hero named Mina Sindhu, available to all Watch Dogs Legion players who own the Season Pass. From the trailer, it certainly seems like Mina Sindhu has supernatural powers, as she uses mind control powers to take hold of enemies and have them do her bidding. Mina will be available in single player and online modes. 

Season Pass owners will also get access to the third entry in the DeadSec missions, called 'Swipe Right.' You'll be tasked with infiltrating a smuggling ring to get intel on an ancient artifact (Assassin's Creed Easter egg, anyone?).

Watch Dogs Legion is also adding one of the more requested features: more customization options, including hair and body art options. Watch Dogs Legion Update 1 goes live tomorrow, May 4.

A Watch Dogs Legion 60FPS update is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X.
