Ubisoft recently held an event aimed at keeping everyone informed about news from The Division realm. We’ve revisited Heart of The Division, the free-to-play PvEvP survival hybrid, as well as some updates on the mobile spinoff, The Division Revival.
But the big news is arguably confirmed The Division 2 Will be supported for another year. Starting in June, the game will begin its fifth year, which consists of four seasons.
Season 1: Broken Wings marks the beginning of a new story arc for the game and introduces a free-to-play mode called Descent, which brings a rogue-lite style to The Division’s gameplay where up to four players can Start over with no gear or perks, and need to unlock them as they go.
Future seasons will continue to introduce manhunts, events, and new invasions. There’s even a whole new story DLC in the works that will add new areas and quests to the game.
With all this good news, you’d think updating support for year five content and investing all the time and money would also include a major upgrade for new console owners, but sadly that’s not the case.
The Division 2 creative director Yannick Banchereau tells MP1st why you shouldn’t expect any major upgrades to the PS5 or Xbox Series X/S.
“It’s unlikely because if we really want to take full advantage of these, since we only have one version of the game available on all platforms, taking full advantage of these would mean the game would no longer be available for older generations,” Banchereau explained.
“We still have a lot of players playing on all generations, and we’re not prepared to leave them behind and ask them to level up. Now we’re trying to make sure that every time we add something, it still runs smoothly on older generations as well.”
As the site points out, The Division 2 Do Better experience on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S due to increased to 60fps and increased resolution. These additions come shortly after the new console’s release, but that’s just how low support is out there.
