The Division 2 first details

Ubisoft has announced new details about The Division 2 at E3 2018.

Set in Washington D.C., the game takes place seven months after a deadly virus was released in New York City. While the virus has been contained, its effects are most evident in the devastated streets of the nation's capital where survivors cling to hope and struggle to rebuild. Enter The Division, a unit of civilian sleeper agents who now must work to stop enemy factions from completely taking over the city – and ultimately, the nation.

Set in a reportedly one-to-one recreation of Washington, D.C., The Division 2 looks to address players concerns from the first game. As a result, the game has been developed with an endgame-first mentality. For players, this means that from day one, The Division 2's main campaign will naturally flow into a robust endgame with its own narrative thread and unique challenges.

Progress also continues long after Level 30. Once you reach the level cap, you'll be able to select a Specialization. Each Specialization, like sharpshooter, demolitionist, or survivalist, comes with its own progression path. These paths introduce new skill mods, talents, and tools, including brand new signature weapons. As you further customize your Agent, you'll also have access to a wealth of PvP experiences, including a fully revamped Dark Zone experience. Additionally, in a first for the franchise, eight-player raids will make their way to the sequel.

Post-launch, the game will see the inclusion of a year's worth of story-driven missions, map expansions, and new modes for free.

The Division 2 is set to launch in March 2019 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
