NASCAR driver will be NPC in Watch Dogs

Ubisoft's upcoming open-world action game Watch Dogs may be an entirely new franchise, but its list of familiar faces is growing longer.

NASCAR driver Brad Keselowski will be featured in the game as a non-playable character, Ubisoft confirmed today. Keselowski will be one of many in-game citizens roaming the streets of Chicago and joins actress and comedian Aisha Tyler, who will also appear as an NPC.

In addition to his career as a racer, Keselowski owns Keselowski Racing, which operates two full-time teams in the Camping World Truck Series. He currently drives the No. 2 Ford Fusion for Penske Racing in NASCAR and the No. 22 Discount Tire Ford Mustang in the Nationwide Series.

Watch Dogs launches for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, and PC on November 19. The Xbox One and PS4 versions will be released as launch titles for those platforms.

Ubisoft expects the game to sell more than 6.2 million units. For more, check out GameSpot's previous coverage of Watch Dogs.
