Sequel to the 2016 third-person RPG is in the works
A sequel to Tom Clancy's The Division will be appearing at E3 2018 this summer, after Ubisoft confirmed the reports in a livestream today.
The game's development is being led by Massive Entertainment in collaboration with Ubisoft Annecy, Redstorm, Reflections, Ubisoft Bucharest and Ubisoft Shanghai. Gamers should not be surprised that a sequel was in the works, what with the original game becoming Ubisoft's fastest-selling IP for week one sales - generating an estimated $330 million in just five days!
The news emerged from German site 4-Traders, who had allegedly obtained a press release from Julian Gerighty, Creative Director at Massive Entertainment, in which it states "The teams are extremely grateful for all the support over the past two years and we can not wait to show you what we have planned for The Division 2 during the E3 2018 in June."
The press release also states that the original Division game will receive two additional updates as part of its two-year anniversary, with two brand new Global Events and more 'Legendary' difficulty missions being included, and that The Division 2 will be based on an updated version of the Snowdrop Engine.
