After a lot of speculation, it is now official. The Creative Director of The Division has confirmed: There will be a The Division 2. During today’s “State of the Game,” the news that many fans have been waiting for was announced.
They said they have so many stories to tell and so much to explore that they decided to make a sequel, according to Creative Director Justin Gerighty.
The Division 2 in development since 2016 – big announcement at E3
The Division 2 has been in development for two years. They practically started developing it right after the launch of The Division.
The Division is primarily developed by Massive Entertainment. However, there is also support from Ubisoft Annecy, Redstorm, Reflection, Ubisoft Bucharest, and Ubisoft Shanghai.
The Division 2 will run on an updated version of the Snowdrop engine. Massive says: They will take the experience they gained from The Division and put it into The Division 2. This should ensure everything works well.
There is currently not much more information. The Division 2 is expected to be presented at E3. E3 2018 will take place in mid-June 2018.
Speculations are now confirmed – Release date for The Division 2 before March 2019?
Many have suspected that Massive is working on a The Division 2. Including us. Because Massive in Malmö has not worked directly on The Division in a long time but has been actively recruiting more employees for their “The Division” team.
After a rocky start, other studios took over the further development of The Division. After the last patches, the game has improved significantly and even experienced a renaissance.
There are also plans to continue with the original The Division: They want to support the game with two additional updates. An update for Xbox One X is also planned, which aims to showcase New York City in 4k and 1080p.
Although there is still no release date for The Division 2, it seems very likely that the game will be released before March 2019. That’s when Ubisoft’s fiscal year ends. Out of the 4 planned AAA titles for the period, only two have been known for a long time. It could well be that The Division 2 is number three.
Now that The Division 2 is announced, the announcement of Borderlands 3 is likely to be just a formality:
The Division 2, Borderlands 3, Anthem: it is getting tight for Destiny 2
