Today, on January 11, the servers are down for The Division. Additionally, the first State of the Game in 2018 is taking place!
On this Thursday, Massive is conducting the “weekly rituals” for the first time in 2018: After regular maintenance and the “State of the Game” were canceled in recent weeks, operations are now resuming.
Information about the maintenance:
- The maintenance on January 11 starts at 9:30 AM our time on all platforms – PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
- The estimated server downtime is about 2 hours, so you can play again around 11:30 AM.
A changelog will be provided, and during the maintenance, a fix will be deployed: A problem will be fixed where agents without DLC were excluded from skirmish activities. Skirmish is the new PvP mode introduced in Update 1.8 and should actually be free for everyone. The problem occurred when agents had items in their “expansion stash.”
The State of the Game takes place today
The State of the Game is the weekly status report from the Division developers. In a livestream, they usually talk about the current issues the game has, what changes are pending, and what is coming up for The Division.
Massive recently confirmed that there will be a livestream this Thursday. It starts at 5 PM. You can watch it here, and afterwards a summary of the key information will be published on Mein-MMO.de:
Many agents hope that there will finally be information today on which direction The Division will take in 2018. Will there be a Year 3? Is a “The Division 2” coming? Will there be no more new content? What plans do Ubisoft and Massive have for the shared-world shooter?
So far, there have been no official announcements regarding what agents can expect in 2018. Only vague hints …
As far as we can tell, Massive will likely not share any information today regarding the mid-term future of The Division. There may only be an announcement for a stream about when they plan to discuss it.
Today, it probably only concerns the near future. When does the 4th global event start? Are fixes or balance adjustments planned?
We will report on this.
