Just when its first wave of content comes to a close, Ubisoft announcesThe Division 2expansionWarlords of New Yorkwill release next month.
The newDivision 2expansion will add a slew of content to an already packed game. While Division agents were summoned to Washington, D.C., Aaron Keener and his posse of rogue agents have taken control of New York with a new virus ready to be unleashed. You will attempt to stop Keener and his fellow rogues and take back the city.
If you did not guess, you will fight each of these rogue agents which will unlock new skills. This includes decoy, shock trap, and the return of the sticky bomb launcher (which will have explosive and incendiary variants).
ButWarlords of New Yorkis more than just a few new skills and a new narrative set in a nostalgic setting. It is reinvigorating many of the facetsDivision 2is known for. This includes a full RPG overhaul that will bring more meaningful loot, player choice, build diversity, and a level raise from 30 to 40. The boss battles featured in the expansion will also be a bit more grandiose than its launch counterpart. The new Dark Zones will also be revitalized.
Massive Entertainment is also going in a new direction withDivision 2’s end game content with “seasons.” Each season is broken up into three-month mini-campaigns that will introduce a new main target known as the Seasonal Manhunt bringing new stories and unique rewards every season. There will also be new in-game activities. Leagues are a series of challenges that will test and reward your ability to complete them. Global Events make a return, bringing the time-limited events toThe Division 2.
As you progress through the seasonal content, you’ll grow your Season level and unlock even more rewards. There will be a Season Pass which will offer even more rewards.
Lastly, there will be a new raid known as the Foundry that will be part of the newDivision 2expansion. However, it will not be available atWarlords of New York’s launch. It will be playable for both level 30 and 40 players in Spring 2020.
TheDivision 2expansionWarlords of New Yorkwill be coming to Xbox One, PS4, and PC on March 3. A Stadia release is planned a specific date has not yet been announced. If you want to know my thoughts on my brief time with the new content, check out the preview.
If you have been itching to get back intoDivision 2, this may be a perfect time. Episode 3 of its previously announced post-launch content will launch tomorrow, on February 12, for Year 1 holders; it will launch for everyone on February 19. Even at launch, there was a ton of content. Now, you’ll have more than enough to keep you busy untilWarlords of New Yorklaunches.
