Fans of the "The Division" game, despite its slow launch, have already uncovered what may have been leaks for "The Division 2." As it is now confirmed by publisher-developer Ubisoft, a live stream answered many fans' questions about the game including why Ubisoft decided to make a sequel.
The developer of the game, Ubisoft Massive, answered questions via its Twitch live stream. As to the game company's decision to make a new game, creative director Julian Gerighty had some words to share: "It wasn't an easy decision, but there are so many stories and so many experiences that we want to explore within the world of The Division that we really felt a sequel was the best way to investigate these things."
For those who are not aware, Ubisoft Massive was also the developer of the original "The Division" game. With that in mind, the game's director Mathias Karlson added in his own thoughts. With all the criticism the same company received with the first game, Karlson mentioned how much they want to show all their learnings from then.
Alongside Ubisoft Massive, Ubisoft Shanghai, Ubisoft Reflection, Ubisoft Bucharest, Ubisoft Annecy and Red Storm Entertainment will all be working on the game again as well, per Comicbook.com. Gerighty also mentioned that the new "Division" game began development back in April 2016.
In the live stream, the developers were able to mention some of the features of the game. One notable feature is that players will be able to transfer some progress from the original game to "The Division 2." Thankfully, a lot more details will be revealed during the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) coming this June.
If fans are to make estimates on the game's release details, it should come out sometime within 2019. It will presumably be playable on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. There is more doubt as to whether the Switch will get the game as well.
