During Ubisoft’s E3 press conference, the studio released a new trailer for its upcoming open-world game Watch Dogs, featuring antihero Aiden Pearce taking down a human trafficker with his “fists and wits”.

The session shows how protagonist Aiden Pearce – or in this case, the mocap actor – attacks the bad guys brutally. As always for mocap videos, the footage is both impressive and fantastic to watch.
