Ubisoft turned the gaming industry on its head today, indicating that Watch Dogs protagonist Aiden Pearce's iconic cap™ will be replaced by iconic Ray-Ban® glasses instead. The sensational news emerged on famous video game player The Rad Brad's popular Twitter account, where he posted a picture of a gift that he received from the French publisher. Companies often send YouTubers presents because they say nice things about their games.
The eye-catching photograph – snapped using one of those smartphones that all of the kids have – was strategically positioned to show off the Watch Dogs 2 logo, as well as an iconic Ray-Ban® glasses case. The picture is totally authentic, however, and not a carefully coordinated marketing move between Ubisoft and The Rad Brad at all. Regular readers will remember artwork of a hipster looking protagonist sporting what looked like Ray-Ban® glasses from a few weeks ago.
All will be revealed at E3 2016.

Why did the scene in Blade where he decapitates the vampire and catches the glasses just come to mind?
Lmao okay Ubi! Should have saved this for E3 though, talk about blowing your load..
Jim Sterling is going to have a field day again.

I'm confused, is this some type of leak, or joke, or just random nonsense? Surely Ubi dind't reveal it's big new game by sending some Youtuber a glass case? I mean anybody at any hobby craft store or fair could have made that up. And that Delsin Rowe wannabe can't be authentic.
@rjejr Oh it's legit, don't you worry.
@get2sammyb Well if that's legit - Worst. Unveil. Ever.
Ill pass on this game. Watch Dogs 1 disappointed me too much.
@rjejr It's sort of the marketing trend nowadays, all these official leak...
@NomNom I'll say cautiously give it a 2nd chance, it may be the "Assassin Creed 2" for this IP..
Well, these type of gifts are usually meant for display. Since nobody told Ray Ban that 1985 has come and gone, they should stay in mint/unworn condition.
I guess that's....something?
As for WD2. i'll keep an eye on it, but i'm not expecting much from it.
I liked some of the ideas that the predecessor brought to the table, but I'm on the fence about the sequel. I guess it's a waiting game, especially with Ubisoft now days.
Problem glasses...
@adf86 Indeed he loves the word 'Iconic'
@stocko I think it's more like he loves how Ubisoft loves the word "iconic"
@adf86 That is true, I love how a branded glasses are now 'Iconic'... stupid Ubisoft
Omg! Surely this is the greatest news this week.. Or this month?
Think I'm the only person ever to enjoy watchdogs. It is what it is.....not groundbreaking but an enjoyable game
Watch Dog was a fun, if unimpressive game, just hope they don't con us with the graphics again.
Similar to the iconic jacket in The Division... no thanks, think i'll pass..
I liked WD1 - Maybe due to the fact I had no games at the time, but I liked it nonetheless. I want some of the coat Aiden wears, they are siiiickkkk.
@rjejr Sometimes they do this on purpose to make early hype. I wouldn't put it above Ubisoft. Either way I'm just the sucker they're fishing for, because I'm probably gonna buy it.
