https://www.twitch.tv/thedivisiongame
last link is to a state of game (starts in a minute) official stream where they're likely to make it official

It's official, but no release date or further details until E3 in 3 months time (June)

quote from polygon/stream

"It wasn’t an easy decision, but there are so many stories and so many experiences that we wanted to explore within the world of The Division that we felt a sequel was the best way to explore these things,” he said.

Mathias Karlson, the game director, added that “It’s an incredible opportunity to take all of that learning, all of that experience from what The Division is today and put it into a new game.”

Gerighty said more will be revealed at E3. Yannick Banchereau, the community manager for the game, said no other details, such as a launch date or other features, will be revealed until then

If they can launch the new game with all the bells and whistles that the first one has now, it should do well.

Kind of disappointed they don't just expand on the first game though (though it seems there are some more updates planned for it).

Falthyron · 08-03-2018 04:09PM

I would like to see The Division 2 drop the bullet-sponging of the first game and take on a more hardcore military shooter style. Games like Escape from Tarkov and PUBG could easily influence The Division 2's direction and I hope they do.

Zero-Cool · 08-03-2018 04:41PM

Excellent, the division had such a great world and story. Would be a bold move off they went away from the bullet sponge system but I would really like if they did. Would but this digitally to save me buying a physical copy 3 times! Just hope it's a substantial event at E3 and not a short clip with coming 2020.

I don't see the updates for 1 holding interest for long. Some new legendary missions, new modifiers for Global Events and increased drop rates for stuff, plus something called shield? If there's nothing to grind for it loses it's allure, to a large extent.

Zero-Cool · 08-03-2018 05:14PM

Apparently it will have new events called crests in June that will unlock rewards for division 2.

Dcully · 08-03-2018 06:20PM

It took 3 years to get some half decent content but still nowhere near enough to keep most players playing including myself.
I come back for every patch and breeze through the content in a few days, always great fun while it lasts.
The Division 2 will ship with even less content than whats there now, why not just build on whats already there? because they believe lets prey on those who will just mindlessly pre-order like sheep.
Say what you like about blizzard but they have proved over and over again there is no need to go out and build a new game, just build on what you have.

Spear · 08-03-2018 08:02PM

There's been something of a perspective shift within Ubisoft over the last two years or so. They're now seeing the value in long term support, including free content, and they've shown this with R6Siege, The Division, For Honor and the like. So while it may be low on content at release, I'm still optimistic on this one, even after the TD1's rough start.

Zero-Cool · 10-06-2018 09:54PM

Shown at E3, this is releasing March 15th 2019. Beta reg is live but I keep getting a forbidden message when trying to register. Anyone else having luck?

Was able to register no problem. Did you log into your Ubisoft account ?

I just signed up for the beta just fine.

Yeah, I enter my details and I get a 403 Forbidden message, reset my password and same deal. hhmmm

Kiith · 10-06-2018 10:02PM

Signed up there as well. Got the forbidden message, but once i was logged into the site first (rather than logging in when clicking on the register link), it worked fine.

Rob2D · 10-06-2018 10:02PM

I got in too.

No Zero-Cool's allowed :pac:

Good man Kiith, yupp just went to thedivisiongame.com, logged in there and beta registered straight away. Agreed with above, I miss the snow but it seriously needed a change up and the season would be most obvious. Wonder when the beta will go live.

Destiny 1 and Destiny 2 are pretty much the same game with the changes players wanted.

Activison Blizzard are literally the worst machine for extracting money from gamers around, they make EA look like amateurs.

Every single game Activision Blizzard make has a number at the end, not sure what your point is?

skerry · 11-06-2018 07:13AM

Very excited for D2 after that, looks great. Most impressed by how awesome that Seeker Mine sounded whizzing through the water. I'll happily buy this game just so I can sit in a puddle rolling Seekers at people all evening in 4k

Dcully · 11-06-2018 12:35PM

Framerate looks terrible in the gameplay vids.
The game will live or die by its endgame content and loot system ,thats the golden rule of any looter and both were sadly missing from the first game.
I predict it being fun for a month or so but like the first game it will die off very quickly, i have no faith in them shipping the game with enough content to keep people playing, the last game took 3 years to get any decent endgame content and a half decent loot system , even still players just breezed through the content in a few days.

My point is world of warcraft and its endless conveyor belt of content, they know how to keep players interested.

Not really,Destiny 2 is a sequel where they threw away all the changes that turned Destiny 1 into a great game.

The fall updats is literally reverting a load of the changes in Destiny 2

If the Division 2 is just more of the same it probably wont be for me. I can see why people liked it but it just never 100% clicked with me.

Well, Division in current state is a very decent looter game. I enjoyed it a lot and looking forward to new one. If they manage to take everything that is good now and work on stuff suggested already, then they will have a cracker of a game.

Just few things I want them to do:
Make ability to get loot from more places theb just grinding same thing over and over, because it has best chance. Even right now Division has a lot of cool content, but you completely ignore it, because rewards are pure ****.
With Item sets I want to see drop from 6 piece full set to 4. Right now you hunting all 6 pieces and there are no more slots to play around with. Most fun was for me, when I was missing pieces and tried to glue together different sets or legendies, to make it work. When I got 6 piece striker game went in to decline to me. I knew there is nothing better.
More activities in open world and not instances. Would be fun meeting other agents.

Nice cinematic trailer and the 2nd vid is selling me on Washington, will be nice to have a mix of areas instead of blocks of skyscrapers.

I will miss snow though.

It was such a refreshing setting.

gimli2112 · 12-06-2018 07:37AM

the min maxing really sold me on the Division. It took me ages to understand how things worked but once it clicked I got hooked. Patch 1.6 was a game changer it brought me back and I haven't been able to leave since. Built a firecrest character this weekend and it's just brilliant in PvE.

murphyebass · 12-06-2018 08:58AM

Tempted to pick the first game up.

Would I be at a significant disadvantage being new at this late stage?

only in pvp which is a clusterfup at the best of times and not a significant game mode. You could even get away with the dark zone which is a pvp mode if you're careful. Dark Zone farming isn't that important anymore although it can still be fun.
If you get into it you'll get fantastic value out of it.

Kiith · 12-06-2018 09:04AM

You can get your gear up to a decent level without much effort. There are plenty of people who would help you with that, especially if you can get in with some of the boards lads.

It’d be more the PvE I’d be interested in tbh so it’s not too late by the sounds of it. Cheers

Just checked psn and it’s gone off sale! Damn.

Will wait till the next one and grab it.

gimli2112 · 12-06-2018 09:15AM

yeah I looked at the digital some months back as I couldn't get the disk to work and it was like 60 euro or something crazy. you'd pick it up cheap somewhere like Amazon but I prefer digital games now, if possible.
