"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."
"The development team worked with an external producer to select speaker profiles for these podcasts and were not aware of the controversy at the time of booking or recording. While the in-game podcasters are following a pre-approved script and are not speaking in their own name or with their own opinions, we understand this collaboration itself may be seen as offensive and we deeply regret any hurt this has caused.
"In response, we will be replacing these two podcast episodes in an upcoming update and will reinforce our background checks for partners in the future."
Watch Dogs: Legion is set in a fascist future London, and with the player taking part in a computer-hacker resistance movement. It is the third game in the Watch Dogs franchise, continuing on from 2016's Watch Dogs 2.Gaming
