A trailer for "Watch Dogs 2" has been released at the Tokyo Game Show, giving fans the first look at the sequel's new antagonist — Douchean Nemek.

This bearded evil man is the person that has the full control of the Blume CtOS or Central Operating System, which was described in the teaser as a "giant spider web" that interconnects data of various companies.

It is the work of the corrupt group called Blume Corporation, which uses the CtOS for various sinister crimes that protagonist Marcus Holloway and his DedSec crew intends to put a stop to.

Based on the "Watch Dogs 2" trailer, Douchean Nemek likes to be alone to meditate, sports a man bun, and does not seem to have any problem having a civilian or two as casualties in the name of the "betterment of the world."

He also knows the power of DedSec. Douchean even warned someone in the trailer not to get close to the hacker group, which were seen trying to take down Douchean and "save the world."

The trailer also gave a good look at Marcus Holloway and how he became one with the Dedsec. He appears to have gone well with the group effortlessly.

Not much is known about Douchean at the moment, apart from what was shown in the "Watch Dogs 2" trailer. Fans can count on Ubisoft revealing more details about him soon.

"Watch Dogs 2" will be released on the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. It will also be optimized for the new PlayStation 4 Pro.

According to animation director Colin Graham, the open world action-adventure game "pops off the screen" when played on the newly introduced Sony console. "It's so cool to see your work look so shiny and spectacular," he went on to say.

"Watch Dogs 2" drops Nov. 15 in North America and Europe, Dec. 1 in Japan.
