The Division: Last Stand and Update 1.6 – Release date announced! [Update]

In The Division, Update 1.6 and Last Stand have a release date. Additionally, the PTS patch notes have been published.

The community developer Yannick Banchereau recently published the global PTS patch notes for 1.6 and Last Stand in the Ubi forum. The public test servers will start on January 24, so tomorrow. Moreover, Last Stand has a release date!

• The release is on 28.2. on all platforms: PS4, Xbox One, and PC. That is a Tuesday.

New Incursion “Lost Signal”

The new incursion will be playable on the PTS in advance. Here are the first details:

• It is called “Lost Signal” and takes place in a TV broadcast center.
• The enemy faction: Rikers.
• You need to clear three different building wings from the Rikers, each offering a different combat scenario. Tactics are said to be important.
• Each wing holds rewards for you. Once you have mastered all three challenges, the final boss will appear, which is supposed to be the greatest challenge.

We can expect more information in the future.

Patch Notes for Update 1.6

As soon as the PTS opens, the PvP mode “Last Stand” will not be available yet. It will be activated during the testing phase.

However, you can test the new features of Update 1.6. Note that the provided patch notes are not final and may change before the release.

We already know most of the new features: The Dark Zone updates, the legendary difficulty, changes to armor, the new gear set SEEKR, and the exotics. Furthermore, numerous bug fixes and balance adjustments are coming.
