Behind the scenes
Darcy is featured as a playable operative in the Bloodlines expansion of Watch Dogs: Legion, a game also developed by Ubisoft. Despite the crossover, Darcy is purely "fan service" and is thus not considered canon within the Assassin's Creed series according to Watch Dogs: Legion Live Producer Lathieeshe Thillainathan.[3][4]
Scriptwriter Jared Schincariol, who also worked on Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, describes Darcy as a fun character with "earnest pluck and sarcastic bite". As a descendant of Jacob and Evie Frye, the main protagonists of Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, Darcy is aware of the big legacy she is striving to live up to. Schincariol states that while Darcy is considered "very much her own person with her own story", Darcy and her missions in the Bloodlines expansion is "a sort of love letter to Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate".[1]
Darcy is voiced by English actress Hatty Preston.[1]
