by

Ubisoft has shared a bit more info on the big update coming to The Division 2 in late 2021 at the earliest, including that there will be a brand-new game mode and new ways to progress your agent.The Division 2 development team shared the update, following up on its recent confirmation that more content was on the way and that Title Update 12 was no longer going to be the last major update to the game.While the team didn’t reveal too much, they did tease that this new game mode is “entirely new to the franchise.” Furthermore, the team is “investigating new ways to progress your agent with an emphasis on increasing build variety and viability.”

Development on this new update is still in its early stages and will take several months to complete, according to the team, and it is currently scheduled to release in late 2021 at the earliest. The goal is to make “meaningful change to the game,” so the necessary time will be taken to ensure that can come true.

Until the update is ready, Ubisoft Massive will be re-running previous seasons released during Year 2. This means that the next season – Season 5 – will be a re-run of Season 1 and will give players a chance to collect rewards and collectibles that they may have missed the first time around. There will also be regular Leagues and Global Events, new Apparel Events, and minor Title Updates focused on game health.Ubisoft Massive also revealed that The Division 2 has seen over 40 million players and that March 2020 saw the highest activity for the game since its launch in February 2019.

Development on The Division 2 will continue on as the studio also works on creating its Avatar game and the recently announced open-world Star Wars project.
