Beithe Division 2 prevails largely radio styles. The development of the online shooter was apparently already largely driven down 2020, but in March 2021 Ubisoft promised: It continues. But for 5 months, players are waiting for news, the brand "The Division" seems to be so important for Ubisoft.
That's how it ran for the brand "The Division" in the last 5 years: Part 1 of "The Division" appeared in March 2016 and was initially friendly at the beginning, but then criticized sharply. The shooter had atmosphere and a good campaign, but it lacked substance in the endgame and fine grinding. The Division 1 was shaped by bugs and exploits.
But the team managed the upheaval and could improve the Division 1 outstandingly well over the years. Especially the DLCs were praised. They brought completely new ways to play The Division.
When you realized at massive that The Division 1 was a commercial hit, you immediately developed "The Division 2" - that was published in 2019.
Division 2 was excited at the beginning, but then the second part of the shooter series was criticized hard. But in contrast to The Division 1, no big change now succeeded. The sales figures were weak - the game was seen by Ubisoft itself as "too close to The Division 1" without improving the basic concept.
Actually, the development of The Division with the 2020er extension "The Warlords of New York" was already completed. Because nothing was announced more, you thought, massive is dedicated to playing like avatar. But then it was said: There are new content.
Pandemic and free action revealed The Division 2
That was the promise: In March 2021, massive reported to speak. Now it was said: March 2020 was suddenly the highlight of the game - apparently had discovered during the beginning of Corona pandemic and a skilled advertising coup of Ubisoft many players The Division 2 newly discovered. Never had the Division 2 more players than in March 2020:
- One promised the players now that new content for The Division 2 comes from experienced veterans and supported by Ubisoft Bucharest.
- You will bring a "completely new game mode to The Division". And give the agents new ways to advance.
New update for The Division 2 Only late 2021
That was the problem: However, it also said that one was still in the "very early stage of development" and the update "for several months away". Players should expect at the end of 2021.
Apparently, massive had driven down the development of new content for The Division 2 in 2020 completely and had to start again now.
The Division 2 practically dead, the brand is so important
This is the situation: The brand "The Division" is in a strange situation. For the "basic game" may have felt a boom in March 2020, but has not happened in The Division 2 but nothing has happened for months and it will probably happen for some time.
The originally weak sales figures from The Division 2 ensured a stop in content planning, the player now expires. According to "the Warlords of New York" in March 2020, massive the core work on The Division 2 had apparently actually driven down a long time and she ran up again in March 2021.
The brand "The Division" has become increasingly important for Ubisoft in recent years:
- So you plan a big Netflix movie with Jake Gylenhall and Jessica Chastain
- It is a free2play offshoot planned: The Division Heartlands
- And the new shooter XDefiant is based on The Division
Therefore, it is strategically important for Ubisoft and massive that The Division 2 comes to the courses again. But if you succeed in waking the sleeping game again, is currently questionable. A "The Division 3" has come in a long distance.
Many felt heavily on the Division during the Corona Pandemic, maybe even too strong:
