The Division 2 Roadmap Includes Crossplay, New DLC, and Fresh Extraction Experience

Ubisoft has today revealed an immense roadmap for The Division 2 through 2026. The 2019 online-only shooter is about to be boosted to the heavens with an all-new DLC set in Central Park, a fresh incursion, a tweaked extraction experience in Survivors, crossplay mechanics, and a whole host of improvements.

Fans have rejoiced at the love shown to The Division 2 from Ubisoft. Once upon a time, the game sat on a precipice, and it took a small but dedicated team working around the clock to bring it back to life.

What’s Coming to The Division 2 This Year?

Ubisoft has unveiled The Division 2’s roadmap, which spans the entire year ahead. In their words, it has ‘never been a better time to be an Agent.’

The roadmap kicks off in April, with a free update emerging in the form of ‘Rise Up’, a new season dedicated to increasing the challenge and pitting players against Black Tusk, the formidable faction. The ambition for this year is only just starting, though.

Ubisoft revealed that PvP-focused balancing updates are coming in the next few weeks, making Dark Zone and multiplayer-based combat feel much more intuitive and fair. In a surprising revelation, it was also confirmed that crossplay is finally coming to The Division 2, eradicating the digital borders that have been in place for more than six years.

This year, Classified Assignments are also coming back, along with a new Incursion. This out-of-map expansion will take players and throw them into one of the toughest challenges yet, casting them to ‘Steel Creek’, a hydroelectric dam under siege.

Survivors is returning in The Division 2’s roadmap this year, too. It has been penned as a bold new extraction experience that plunges players into a blizzard-struck Washington DC, forcing them to survive against the weather as much as the enemies roaming the map.

The final reveal on the roadmap was the teasing of a DLC set in Central Park in New York City. This location was never enterable in the first game, released in 2016, and in the game’s lore, it was described as a ‘mass grave’, home to the millions that died in and around the city.

Many have speculated that the new DLC will be the darkest chapter in The Division’s ten-year history.
