If you thought your days playingThe Division 2were about to end any time soon, you may want to rethink that stance. To the surprise of its own developers at Massive studio, Ubisoft has announced plans to keep you hooked in its dilapidated post-pandemic America far longer thanDivision 2TU12 (orTitle Update 12), which released last December.Taking to Twitter, Ubisoft’s official TheDivision 2account had this to say:
“Today, we are thrilled to confirm that there will be additional content forThe Division 2released later this year! It is your continuous passion and support which enables us to continue to build uponThe Division 2experience, and we cannot thank you enough for that.”
Whereas there was never any public confirmationThe Division 2TU12 was the final planned update for the game, its own developers at Massive studio apparently expected it to be the last major piece ofThe Division 2content before moving on to greener pastures, perhaps in the rolling plains of Naboo, for its new open-worldStar Wars game.

If this sounds like a departure from what fans were expecting and what developers thought they already knew, given that the currentThe Division 2season as of TU12 is called “End of Watch”, that’s because it is. This news largely comes hot off the back of Ubisoft’s closed-door February 9 investor call, from whichVG247 reportedthat Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot had statedThe Division 2 will receive more content throughout 2021 and into 2022.
Nothing here is particularly unusual for an online service-based game of this size and stature, though we’ve spent long enough living in areal-life pandemicnow that perhaps a little vacation on Tatooine isn’t such a bad thing.
In other relatedDivision 2news, crossplay is finally a thing â but only betweenPC and Stadiaplayers.
It’s not immediately clear what type of content could appear in updates afterDivision 2TU12, but given thatDivision 2next-gen updateshave already come out, the sky’s the limit. Now to find a PS5.
