Cort King's Instagram post.

Spotted by NerdLeaks , actor Cort King uploaded an image of a glasses and bandana-wearing 3D model, with the caption, "Had a blast doing motion capture work as the lead character in a new video game series!", following up with "#WatchDogs2".As mentioned above, King has since made his profile private, but a cached version of his account page shows the post in question.There is a chance that King means a new main character, as opposed to a replacement for the first game's protagonist Aiden Pearce. That said, the series' creative director, Jonathan Morin has said that Ubisoft would be "taking risks" with the sequel It could be the right choice to swap out Pearce - our review of the original called the protagonist, " an empty trenchcoat as far as personality goes ".We'll likely have more information soon - Watch Dogs 2 is scheduled for release in the current financial year , making E3 a prime candidate for a full reveal.

Joe Skrebels is IGN's UK News Editor, and he was really hoping that Watch Dogs 2 would be about actual dogs fighting cybercrime, so this has come as something of a blow. Follow him on Twitter
