The Division 2: Episode 2 Story Trailer Released
by Sage Ashford
Ubisoft’s The Division released earlier this year, promising a ton of DLC rolling out over the first year of the game’s release. Now that Episode 1 has been out for months, they’re gearing up to release the second episode of the season, taking players directly into the Pentagon. More on the game from Ubisoft below:
A new introductory side mission, Pentagon Breach, and two new main missions:
- The Pentagon – Agents will discover the location of the perfusion bioreactor inside the Pentagon’s underground research facility. The Black Tusk have already infiltrated the lab, and are attempting to extract the reactor.
- DARPA Research Lab – Players must make their way through the Pentagon and into the DARPA Labs, as the Black Tusk are in the process of transporting the perfusion bioreactor through an abandoned Cold War tunnel network.
Instant unlock of the new Specialization: The Technician.
Exclusive access to two new Classified Assignments:
- Marina Supply Route – Outcasts have been moving weapons and supplies into a boathouse on the Potomac River, which was used as a transport depot during the outbreak to move assets to the Potomac Center and Roosevelt Island. Agents must investigate and seize all the weapons they can find.
- Embassy Crash Site – A Joint Task Force helicopter filled with supplies was shot down by the Outcasts, and crashed through the roof of the Mexican Embassy in Washington, DC. Agents need to locate the helicopter, rescue the pilot, and secure the supplies before the Outcasts get there.
This update will also ship with a large number of fixes to the game, plus new items, new exotic armor and weaponry, and more. They also mention working on a second Raid for the game, but confirm it won’t release until 2020. In the meantime players will have to sustain themselves off new content, a new specialization, weapons, a new mode, and new map.
As usual, Ubisoft is quite fond of giving players tons of post-launch support to keep people coming back for months after the game released, and encouraging people who haven’t yet bought the game to give it a try and dive in. Though this game supposedly “disappointed financially”, they still managed to make this one of the best selling games of 2019.
The Division 2‘s Episode 2 gameplay updates will be available this October 15th, but the new missions won’t be available until October 22nd.
