Something exciting is happening tomorrow! Are there any updates on Update 1.8 of The Division?
Strange things happened last weekend in The Division. The official Twitter account of the game
- posted various codes, which are likely to represent coordinates in the game and hint at story missions,
- changed the cover image every few hours – the faction symbols were displayed on it,
- and posted images of enemy factions along with quotes that apparently come from the enemies.
It seemed that the factions had taken over the Twitter channel, as if insider information from the factions was leaking to the public via the Twitter channel.
What did the Twitter channel post?
The tweets all suggest that the factions want to unite to defeat the Division agents together. The quotes indicate that it is now time to show the Division who truly rules over New York. That the enemy of my enemy is my friend and that the Division prevents the factions from achieving their success. With this speculation that the factions are about to unite against us, we already discussed last Sunday.
In the community, there is speculation that these mysterious tweets indicate a future update. Most likely Update 1.8. However, there are also opinions that this could be about The Division 2, as Massive has never organized such “community puzzles” or teased upcoming content in this way before. It is also possible that this is just a teaser for the next Global Event.
On August 30, we will likely know more
In the meantime, the Twitter channel looks “normal” again. The symbol of the Division is prominently displayed in the cover image. Moreover, Massive posted: “Backup activated. System rebooted. Signal source is being tracked.”
The last post occurred yesterday evening at 6 PM. The source of the signal is still unknown. The search is being expanded. And it is assumed that an answer will be available in 48 hours.
This means that tomorrow, on August 30 at 6 PM, we will likely finally learn what this puzzle is about. According to a rather dubious “leak” on reddit, a trailer for Update 1.8 is supposed to be released at this time, in which Agent Keener speaks to the factions to unite them against the Division. However, this “leak” is just a summary of what has been speculated on reddit in recent days.
We will see what happens tomorrow at 6 PM. We will report on it promptly.
