Ubisoft unveils plans for the first year of post-release support for Tom
Clancy's The Division, laying out a roadmap to follow next week's launch of the
multiplayer shooter with a catalog of free and paid-for content.
This trailer
illustrates the news, and here's the plan:
Today, Ubisoft® revealed the
post-release plans for Tom Clancy’s the Division™. This evolving online open
world RPG will keep players engaged with on-going content that will build on the
experience within the game long after release.
Following launch, players will be able to take on new tasks and challenges
within the main storyline and end-game through daily and weekly missions as well
as Dark Zone events. In addition to these ongoing activities, two free updates
will be available to all players, adding new features and most-wanted
functionalities:
Incursions: In April, the first free update will introduce the first
incursion, a new challenging end-game activity developed specifically for
squad play. Teams will be able to test their skills as they face seemingly
unstoppable enemies to gain high-level weapons and equipment. This update
will also add one of the community’s most-wanted feature, loot trading;
allowing players in the same group to trade loot collected during a co-op
game session.
Conflict: In May, the second free update will add new features to the
Dark Zone and add a new incursion in the iconic Columbus Circle.
Three paid expansions will also be released over the course of the year and
be available in the Season Pass, Gold Edition and Collector’s Edition of the
game. Each expansion builds on The Division, continuing the player’s journey and
progress with new content, gear and gameplay:
Expansion I: Underground
Available in June, this first major expansion lets players explore the
uncharted underworld of New York City. Players will chase deadly enemies
with up to three other Agents through an endless maze of tunnels and
subways.
Expansion II: Survival
Available this summer, this expansion will challenge players to survive as
long as possible by gathering essential supplies in a very hostile
environment.
Expansion III: Last Stand
Next winter, a new threat rises as players and their squad must prepare to
defend against a relentless foe.
Tom Clancy’s the Division will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC
on March 8.
