Ubisoft confirms The Division 2 is in the works

Ubisoft is preparing to go back to its open-world sci-fi/fantasy shooter series with The Division 2. The Massive development studio confirmed that the game is coming in a blog post on the publisher’s website today. The studio didn’t provide many specifics about its release date, but it did promise to deliver more info at the Electronic Entertainment Expo trade show in Los Angeles in June.

Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 follows one of the best-selling games of 2016, and Ubisoft announced last week that it had reached 20 million players. The original takes place in the middle of a civilization-threatening event in New York City. Its structure is similar to other cooperative shooters like Destiny, but it also features a heavy emphasis on player-versus-player action.
