Why Ubisoft took us back to New York in The Division 2’s Warlord expansion

Ubisoft’s new Warlords of New York expansion takes Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 back to New York. While The Division (our doomsday saviors) was busy in Washington, D.C., in the main gameplay of The Division 2, the villains were running wild in post-pandemic New York, the scene of the original The Division. So now you have to take it back.

Warlords of New York has a narrative focused on a rogue agent, Aaron Keener, who was the villain of The Division. Keener has custody of a virologist who can make the virus — released via contaminated money on a Black Friday — even deadlier. You have to go after the scientist on Coney Island in episode 3 of The Division 2.
