We hear you and we want to assure you that we have carefully considered your feedback after the announcement of Seasons 2.0.

After thorough examination and discussions with the team, we have decided to re-evaluate Seasons 2.0 with particular attention to Seasonal Characters with the goal of progressing without them. This change will not impact the previously announced Year 6 plans, but it will require us to assess the changes necessary to the new Seasonal Experience, which will be integrated with Year 6 Season 2 this fall. Once we have ironed out the finer details, we will return with more information, a livestream and PTS.

Thank you for making your voices heard and your continued support as we work to improve The Division 2 experience to serve our community.
