Raids for eight players were already in discussion shortly after the launch of The Division 1. According to the registration website for the upcoming beta, The Division 2 is finally set to receive this activity.
After initial gameplay scenes from The Division 2 were shown during the press conference by Microsoft at the E3 2018, the official website reveals another tantalizing secret. According to the official website, the next installment in the Division series is to include raids for eight players.
8-Man Raids in the Post-Apocalypse
Website reveals details: While the first gameplay trailer for The Division 2 showed a team of agents in the ruins of Washington searching for resources, the official website states that activities for larger groups are also planned for the open-world shooter. There is to be an eight-man raid, for example.
Activity was already discussed for The Division: Eight-man raids are not a new concept for the sequel to The Division, as such an activity was already in discussion for post-apocalyptic New York in The Division 1.
At that time, rumors emerged about a large raid for eight players on Rikers Island. This was to take place in a former prison that had been taken over by inmates after the virus outbreak. One of the rival factions in The Division was also said to have used the prison as a base of operations.
What the activity in The Division 2 could look like is still completely unclear. Unlike The Division 1, the sequel will no longer take place in New York, but in Washington D.C.
The Division 2 will be released on March 15, 2019, for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. Before that, there will be a beta, which you can register for today.
