The Division 2 was officially shown for the first time at Microsoft’s E3 conference. The gameplay trailer already provided some insights into the upcoming online shooter from Ubisoft. Now, more details have leaked about specializations, endgame, and the Dark Zone.
Websites like PCGames.de and windowscentral are already reporting information from the press materials that were supposed to be made public only tonight. This information includes details about the endgame, the Dark Zone, and the game world. We’ll summarize.
Endgame Activities, 8-Player Raid and Story Content for The Division 2
Focus on the Endgame: As previously emphasized by Massive, the endgame will receive more attention this time. This was one of the biggest criticisms at the release of the first part.
They have learned from past mistakes and want to offer a wide range of activities at launch, it is said. This likely includes raids, which may be designed for up to 8 players.
What content can we expect after release? After the story campaign, many different activities are supposed to await the agents. In the first year after release, free, story-based missions, game modes, and map expansions are expected to come.
The Division 2: Specializations and New Progression Systems
What do the specializations look like? Among the first innovations in the endgame are the so-called specializations. These will be unlocked after completing the main story and give the player the opportunity to focus on specific play styles. The known specializations so far are
- the Destroyer,
- the Sniper
- and the Survivalist.
Within these roles, you will have special skills, talents, and mods available to find the play style that suits you best.
Washington D.C – The new setting is supposed to be dynamic
The new location is supposed to be authentic and varied. Due to floods, storms, and the green poison, Washington has become chaotic and dangerous.
More life in the game world through interaction between civilians and factions: Civilians and various gangs are fighting for survival and resources such as food, as well as weapons and medicines. The differing goals and hostile disposition of some factions can lead to multiple groups engaged in battles, with you as agents in the midst of it. This should create a believable feeling of a vibrant game world, whose inhabitants are truly fighting for their survival.
You will have the opportunity to help the civilians gathered in settlements and thus expand your own base.
From the main campaign, which you can complete solo or in a 4-player team, to PvP battles, you can experience a lot. The Dark Zone is also back. Hostile factions are also waiting for you. The “True Sons” are the first ones introduced to us.
The Division 2 has a Dark Zone
As in the predecessor, there will be a Dark Zone, and it will be as dangerous as ever. It is supposed to offer the best loot. No one can feel safe, as hostile agents can jeopardize your loot runs at any time, or just as easily assist you. The unpredictability of the Dark Zone was both a joy and a pain for the agents.
The Dark Zone is supposed to be designed to be fair and exciting for agents. Players can expect that it can be ignored if the gameplay style does not appeal to them.
We are curious about what information will be presented at Ubisoft’s E3 conference.
This will take place today, June 11, at 10 PM.
