Media outlets are one in saying that the "Tom Clancy's The Division" Underground expansion pack was not up to par with they expected and fans are hoping the Survival downloadable content or DLC will turn things around.

The Survival DLC is said to be released next month. A trailer for it was released at the Electronic Entertainment Expo or E3 2016, which suggests that "The Division" DLC is ready for takeoff.

Much like the Underground DLC, the game itself is not getting much love from fans. The Steam rating of "Tom Clancy's The Division" speaks for itself and some even say the State of the Game sessions are not helping.

However, if the words of Ubisoft associate creative director Julian Gerighty are to be believed, Survival might improve "The Division." He promised back in E3 that it will present a "completely new way to play the game."

The Survival DLC, as the name suggests, tests the endurance of "Tom Clancy's The Division" players when put in the most unforgiving conditions.

They will be tasked to navigate through harsh Manhattan winter and have to scavenge for their own food as the Strategic Homeland Division (SHD) agents have run out of supplies.

The key in this "Tom Clancy's The Division" DLC is to stay alive as long as possible and finding the means whatever it takes for them to stay alive.

More information about the Survival expansion pack should be revealed soon, especially with its September release already just a stone's throw away.

An exact launch date for the anticipated "Tom Clancy's The Division" DLC should also be announced anytime now and maybe another exclusive look of the pack.

Meanwhile, a new State of the Game drops tomorrow, Aug. 25, but the schedule was changed to 6 p.m. CEST, as announced by community manager Hamish Bode. He will be there along with Massive Entertainment ‎senior community developer Yannick Banchereau.
