Ubisoft announces that the Battle for Brooklyn DLC will come to Tom Clancy's The Division 2 on May 27th, kicking off a new season of content for the online action/RPG. Of course the real battle for Brooklyn was won by the hipster invaders more years ago, driving me from my home borough, but this version is a fictional conflict that fits in with the game's post-pandemic storyline. Here's a new Deep Dive Trailer with a look at the new content, and here's word:

Battle for Brooklyn will bring players back to New York City in autumn, a new time of year not yet featured in the franchise. Residents have been living relatively peaceful lives in the post-pandemic neighborhoods of Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo. While some of these areas may look familiar to veteran Division players, others are entirely new and hold a fresh crop of secrets and challenges, and the narrative will be approachable for new players as well as seasoned Agents.

The main threat comes from the Cleaners and Rikers, who have crossed the river from Manhattan armed with the deadly Purple Flame: a corrosive new twist on their arsenal that will force players to rethink their tactics. As they progress through the linear campaign, either solo or in co-op, players will uncover how the Cleaners are producing the Purple Flame and fight to thwart the planned attack on civilians.
