Watch Dogs: Legion In-Game Podcast Host To Be Replaced, Ubisoft Confirms

Ubisoft plans to replace an in-game Watch Dogs: Legion podcast host who has made transphobic comments in the past, Kotaku reports.

Helen Lewis, a London-based journalist who serves as a staff writer for The Atlantic, hosts two episodes of Watch Dogs: Legion's BuccanEar podcast. However, Ubisoft confirmed that both episodes will be replaced in an upcoming update. The studio said that Lewis' comments don't reflect those of either Legion or Ubisoft itself.

"We were made aware of controversial remarks from a journalist whose voice-over performance appears in two in-game podcasts in Watch Dogs: Legion," a Ubisoft spokesperson told Kotaku. "Neither Ubisoft nor the game reflect this journalist's viewpoints."
