News The Division 2 Character Creation Looks Like a Huge Improvement Over the First Game
Sculpt that perfect face
The character creation system in The Division 2 seems quite in-depth, based on this video from the guys over at Arekkz Gaming. You'll be able to tweak a number of settings in order to sculpt an ideal mug for your agent, from eye spacing all the way to lip size and jaw structure. Needless to say, it's a huge improvement over...
News The Division 2's Trophy List Is Looking for the Most Iconic Agents
Going for the Platinum

The loot shooter's Trophy list has popped up on Exophase a few days before the launch of the Gold Edition, and it's most certainly not one thats finishable in a...
News Physical Copies of The Division 2 Will Require a Gigantic 90GB Download
Full game is the same size
Remember the days when you could just pop a disc into your PlayStation and play it immediately?

Ubisoft has noted that those who purchase the game physically will be prompted to download an absolutely massive 90GB...
News The Division 2 Gets One Heck of a Dramatic Launch Trailer
Plus guns and explosions, obvs
The Division 2's not far away at all, and so as we've come to expect, the Ubisoft marketing machine is really kicking into gear. The publisher's released the game's launch trailer, which opts for drama and a lot of bullets. Not to mention a few explosions, obviously. The Division 2's due out next week, on the 15th...
News The Division 2 Open Beta Is Live on PS4
Last line of defence
The Division 2's open beta -- your last chance to play the game before its launch on the 15th March -- is now live on PS4. The beta is around 50GB, so you'll want to get it downloading sooner rather than later. It's live from today, Friday the 1st March, until Monday the 4th March. Much like the closed beta that took place last...
News The Division 2's Year 1 Content Is Free, But the Season Pass Supposedly Lets You Get It Early
Early access freebies
We may now know what the point of The Division 2 having a season pass is. Since the game was announced, Ubisoft has been reiterating that the first year of additional content will be totally free for all players. With this in mind, the existence of a season pass has seemed strange. If everything's free, why buy a season pass?...
Welcome back, agent
Running from the 1st March to the 4th March, The Division 2's open beta should be a good indication of how the finished game's going to turn out when it launches on the 15th March. The closed beta was rather robust and, in our opinion, pretty enjoyable, so it should be worth a download if you're interested. Anyway, Ubisoft's...

Agents unite
The private beta for The Division 2 has now come and gone, and we're here, as always, to ask the obvious.

Hands On The Division 2 Is Shaping Up to Be Another Rock Solid Looter Shooter
The usual
Massive Entertainment learned a lot from The Division. The game had a rocky first few months after its launch back in 2016, and it was clear that the developer had work to do.

As with most beta tests, it suffered from a few bugs,...

News A Group of Much Tougher Enemies Take Over The Division 2 Once You've Beaten the Campaign
Endgame
"What's the endgame like?" is a question that's being asked more and more when it comes to loot-based titles like The Division 2. Once you're done with the campaign and the game's side activities, is there enough additional content to keep you coming back for more? It's something that developer Massive Entertainment has clearly been thinking...

News The Division 2 Details Dedicated PvP Modes and All New Dark Zones
Darker
The Division 2 seems to be expanding upon the first game's idea of competitive multiplayer. The sequel will see the return of the Dark Zone, or rather Dark Zones due to the fact that there'll be three of them instead of just one. On top of that, more traditional player versus player modes will be added through 'Domination' and 'Skirmish'. You...

Squad up
Ubisoft's released a new trailer for The Division 2. It's a short one but potentially sweet if you're feeling the hype for this promising looking sequel. It's all in-game footage and we're liking the look of the open world, which is immediately a lot more colourful than the first game's bleak and wintry New York. Are you looking...

E3 2018 The Division 2 First Gameplay Features Awful Gamer Speak, Cool Environments
Cover me, guys
You get the feeling that Ubisoft wanted to tone down the "gamer speak" for this first look at The Division 2, but it's still pretty bloody terrible. Throughout the gameplay demo that was shown at Microsoft's E3 2018 press conference, we were treated to annoyingly fake dialogue between the people supposedly playing the game. If...

But is anyone still playing it?
We remember the lead up to The Division's launch like it was yesterday. The online shooter had a huge amount of hype behind it, with many claiming that it was fated to be the next big thing.

The will to survive
Developer Ubisoft Massive has taken a step back and reanalysed its current situation following a rocky few months for The Division - its co-op based, loot-heavy shooter.

News Enlist for The Division with Amazon Prime Day Sale
New York, New York
Well, it didn't quite set the world alight like the pre-release hype had suggested, but with expectations aligned, Tom Clancy's The Division is a fine game.

The last of us
While we've already gotten one look at the first expansion for Tom Clancy's The Division with Underground today, there's at least something new to chew on with a cinematic trailer for the newly revealed Survival.

E3 2016 The Division's Next Expansion Underground Gets a Short Showcase
Going subterranean
Tom Clancy's The Division has been rather tame in terms of updates and new content of late, so it's nice that we get to see some more footage of its upcoming expansion, Underground, in a new trailer that was shown off during Microsoft's conference. There honestly aren't that many exciting or new elements that we can make out, but...

Poll Are You Still Playing The Division on PS4?
Has Ubisoft's latest done enough?
Tom Clancy's The Division has been a success commercially - there's no doubt about that - but now that the game's been out for a few weeks, we thought that it might be interesting to see what you lot think of it.

Review Tom Clancy's The Division (PS4)
Flu York, Flu York
In The Division it's amazing how quickly society goes to pieces. Admittedly, a genetically engineered super virus that manages to wipe out a large swathe of New York's population seems a reasonable catalyst, but you would have thought that it would have taken more than a few weeks for things to get as messed up as this. Anyhow, in...

Dark zone
As is the danger for games of The Division's ilk, many players have already raced to the level cap, leaving little for them to do.

News Ubisoft Told a Porky, You Can't Improve The Division's Frame Rate on PS4
Oh, Ubisoft
You see, Ubisoft, it's daft statements like this that come back to bite you when they turn out to be wrong.
