Ubisoft's busy E3 rolls on with
the announcement of plans for free episodic content coming to
Tom Clancy's
The Division 2 over the course of the next year. They also announce this weekend
will provide everyone the chance to try out the game for free. Here's a
Year 1 first look trailer
and here's all the free goodness they have in the works:
The fight for
Washington, DC has been raging for months in The Division 2, and over the next
year, three free episodes will expand the battleground significantly. These new
episodes will introduce new areas, modes, rewards, Specializations, and exotic
gear and weapons as Agents face new challenges. Read on below for new details on
what each free episode will bring.
If you don't own The Division 2 yet, mark your calendars for the free weekend
running from Thursday, June 13 to Sunday, June 16 on Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
It'll be the perfect time to explore the open world of DC and take on the
diverse enemy factions creating havoc in the streets. And if you decide to
purchase the game, not only will you keep all your free weekend progress, but
you can also take advantage of discounts of up to 40% from June 7 to June 24.
Episode 1 D.C. Outskirts will take Agents outside of the city proper for
the first time to explore the surrounding areas and woodlands as they hunt for
President Ellis and the leader of the Outcasts. Among these areas will be the
Washington National Zoo, where Agents will deal with threats throughout 11
different biomes. This episode will also introduce Expeditions mode, which will
confront players with cooperative challenges to take on every week as they
progress through different wings of Trinity College. Episode 1 D.C. Outskirts
will release in July 2019, and Year 1 Pass holders will get early access to the
episode one week before it launches for all players.
Episode 2 Pentagon: The Last Castle is slated for fall 2019. Agents will
have to deal with elevated Black Tusk activity and tackle three new main
missions inside one of America's most iconic buildings. Additionally, The
Division 2's toughest challenge—Operation Dark Hours—will be getting some
company as Episode 2 introduces a second 8-player raid. This time, players will
travel to a remote foundry and take on the True Sons.
Episode 3 Brooklyn: Homecoming will take players back to New York City to
confront new challenges at Coney Island. A nemesis is trying to spread the Green
Poison virus, and a showdown is imminent when this episode arrives in early
2020.
