The Division Underground Expansion Release Date & Details

Ubisoft’s biggest new game launch to date, The Division is a massive online-only game that marries multiplayer, third-person shooting mechanics and tactical thinking to create something better than its individual parts. The publisher recently announced that over 9 million people purchased The Division since its early March release. Certainly, sales numbers like that are impressive, but Ubisoft is hoping that it can keep the game alive through free content updates and expansions. The first of these expansions is due out soon and it’s called The Division Underground.

Announced in the run up to the official release of the game, The Division Underground is expected to add a new area and tons of new content to the game. Here’s what we know about The Division Underground, based on leaks and information provided by Ubisoft.

What New Content We Know is Coming in The Division Underground Expansion

As its “expansion” designation suggests, The Division Underground is expected to be a huge update for the game, easily eclipsing what we’ve gotten with the smaller weekly updates and the larger free updates that all players of The Division enjoy on the same day, regardless of what platform they are playing on.

The overwhelming majority of the game world we have available in The Division today takes place above ground, in the center of Manhattan island. Massive, the game’s developer, has confirmed that The Division Underground expands the game’s playable area into the subway tunnels and utilities that power the island.

“Deadly enemies are regrouping in the maze of subway tunnels of the underground.” The Year One content trailer for the game says of The Division Underground Expansion.

At E3 2016, Ubisoft confirmed all the major Underground Expansion release details. Underground Mode will send players into the tunnels underneath Manhattan. Those tunnels are randomly generated, according to a post on the UbiBlog. Besides Undeground Mode, there’s the new Dragon’s Nest Incursion. It’ll be “bigger than those found in the previous updates,” Ubisoft says. In Dragon’s Nest, players take on the Cleaners in Hell’s Kitchen.

From the beginning, Ubisoft has told players to expect The Division Underground to arrive in June. At E3 2016, the company confirmed that The Division Underground will arrive for Xbox One and PC owners on June 28th.
