In The Division, a new faction called “The Hunters” will be introduced with the Survival expansion.
During PAX West, Ubisoft gave a presentation about their current problem child The Division. The MMO shooter is currently undergoing significant changes by the developers. The update 1.4 is expected to completely change the player experience in October. The Survival expansion will then release at a later time, providing new content.
It has now been revealed that “Survival” will introduce a new faction: The Hunters, which will likely be called “Die Jäger” in German. The following concept art was presented, which was confirmed by Producer Tony Sturtzel:
However, not much more is known about the Hunters yet. They look quite grim, well-armored, and heavily armed. It seems that you’ll face powerful enemies in just a few months as you fight for survival in the post-apocalypse.
Whether a new area will be unlocked where we encounter the Hunters, or whether they will roam in the existing open world, is still unknown. Several months ago, glitchers discovered that there are some partially detailed areas and objects outside the playable zone. It was suspected that these could be future DLC locations.
The Hunters – already seen in the E3 Survival teaser
A teaser trailer for the Survival expansion was released at E3 mid-June, which was initially said to be coming “this summer” and “sooner than you think”. Currently, it is expected that the DLC will not arrive until November.
At the end of this video, an enemy can already be seen, which we can now identify as a Hunter (see also the title image):
Concrete details are expected in the coming weeks. Community developers Hamish Bode and Yannick Banchereau mentioned, however, that Massive wants to first address update 1.4 before they talk about Survival.
What do you think of the Hunters?
