The Division 2 has postponed Season 11 indefinitely, just a few days before it was scheduled to be released. However, the fans of the shooter are not surprised.
Live service games thrive on new content that players look forward to and can play years after the game’s release. Fans of Ubisoft’s loot shooter The Division 2 are currently waiting for the release of Season 11.
The development team announced only on January 30 that the new season was supposed to be released on February 7. But just four days later, on February 3, Ubisoft postponed the release of Season 11 of The Division 2.
According to the roadmap for 2022, Season 11 was supposed to be released back in December of last year. However, the development team updated the roadmap and postponed Season 11 in November to spring 2023.
When will Season 11 be released? The development team announced that the release on February 7 could not be met, but no new date has been announced yet. When Season 11 is supposed to appear is currently unclear.
However, the team promised on Twitter to inform players “as soon as possible” about a new release date.
There is no official trailer for Season 11 yet, but here you can take another look at Season 10:
Why has Season 11 been postponed? As the development team behind The Division 2 announced in a statement on Twitter, some delays in the localization process led to the postponement of the Season 11 release.
Localization processes include translating in-game texts and dialogues so that, for example, German players can experience the game in their native language.
Here is a German translation of the statement:
During preparations for Season 11, there were a number of delays in our localization process, which affected the gaming experience of many players around the world. Therefore, after many discussions, we made the difficult decision to postpone the release of Season 11 and the livestream to a later date.
We understand that this is not the update our community wants to hear, and we appreciate your continued support. Because of your support, it is important for us to provide you with the best possible gaming experience with this update, and a release on the planned date of February 7 would not guarantee that. We will inform you about a new release date as soon as possible. In the meantime, we would like to apologize for the inconvenience.
We look forward to sharing more information about the Season 11 stream as soon as we have it.

Fans notice: “Why am I not surprised?”
How are players reacting? Some players of The Division 2 are reacting to the news on social media with mockery, and some say they have already expected the postponement. Additionally, some Division fans show understanding for the delay.
- Eagleblade 85: “I don’t think this is a shock to anyone. If the content is not ready, it simply isn’t ready, no matter how frustrating that is (via Twitter).”
- Oblivionbm3: “Why am I not surprised (via Twitter)?”
- Andreas: “Let’s be honest, did anyone really think they would make it by February 7? I didn’t (via Facebook).”
- onlycrazypeoplesmile: ‘Honestly, I have no problem with it because yes, they need to use the most accurate translations possible, and if that means my non-English friends can play the game better, then hell yes (via reddit)!’
Another “Division 2” player humorously compares the loot shooter on Facebook to the upcoming survival title “The Day Before” and claims that it is more reliable.
The Day Before is currently being hotly debated. After an initial trailer sparked the interest of many players and it became one of the most anticipated games on Steam, doubts grew.
The release has been postponed multiple times, there has been no new information, and accusations arose that the game is a scam and will never be released. In response, the game’s developers addressed the issue:
