Come July 4, Watch Dogs 2 will be graced with the largest free multiplayer update ever. To be frank, I didn't know that the game had any updates to its multiplayer previously, so calling it the largest probably isn't any sort of stretch. Huh, according to the Ubiblog, the game has actually received five free updates and has three DLC releases. Who knew? Regardless, this update will include new missions, weapons, outfits, vehicles, map locations, and modes for the online multiplayer.Perhaps the biggest update inclusion will be the addition of the four-player Party mode.
How will it work? Players can start a public or private party with room for up to four friends (or strangers, if you use matchmaking). From there, the party is free to explore San Francisco. “The cops will be there. You could try to take down the Red Zones. Everything that’s in the city of San Francisco will be there, so you can immediately have some fun exploring San Francisco with four people” Young says. “Then, at any time, you can launch the activities that support the 4-player Party – Bounties, Invasions, Loot Trucks, Races, Showd0wn, Man VS Machine Robot Fights, and the DedSec Virus events are all available for you to have fun with.”
Young also explains that the 4-Player Party mode is intended to be more about cooperation than competition, so anything that happens in this mode will not affect leaderboard standings.
In addition to the 4-Player Party mode, the latest update will also include some slight fixes and improvements to make the experience of playing with others a little smoother. “Watch Dogs 2 already has a fun world to explore, so we mostly had to do some adjustments and gameplay balances” says Young. “We introduced an option to let you skip the cinematic when you’re using the 3D printer, we know that was kind of frustrating. We also fixed the shuffler takedown move and outfit that some players weren’t able to unlock properly, with a few other stability fixes as well.”

In addition to this, Watch Dogs 2 will have a special in-game event that runs through July. This event includes fireworks displays popping off over the city. It will also change the paintball gun so that it shoots red, white, and blue paint pellets. America, fuck yeah!

Not in the States? I'm assuming you will still get to see the fireworks and get the paintball colors, but who knows.
