It will repeat the previous seasons in the meantime.
Division 2 will have a brand new game mode for the franchise in its next major update, currently scheduled for the end of 2021.
Ubisoft Massive said it is also looking for new ways for players to make progress on their agent “with an emphasis on increasing variety and buildability.”
This new update is still in the early stages of development, warned Ubisoft Massive, and will take several months to complete. Therefore, it should be launched at the end of 2021, at least. “We are going to take this moment to ensure that we will make a significant change to the game,” Ubisoft Massive said in a blog.
In the meantime, Ubisoft Massive will “repeat” the previous seasons released during Division 2’s second year. So the next season (season 5) will be a repeat of season 2. Ubisoft Massive said that this will give players a chance to collect previously lost rewards and collectibles.
Players can also expect regular leagues and global events, new clothing events and some minor title updates focusing on the health of the game.
The news comes when Ubisoft announces that the Division franchise has reached over 40 million unique players. The launch of the Warlords of New York expansion in March 2020 also had the highest number of monthly active users for Division 2. Ubisoft said that this strong activity has been maintained over the past year.
Players assumed that the fourth season of Division 2, dubbed End of Watch, would be the last. After all, it’s called End of Watch, and developer Ubisoft Massive has an Avatar game and a new Star Wars game in development.
But Ubisoft has had a change of opinion attributed to the “ongoing support” of the players.
