Ubisoft has unveiled Warlords of New York, a brand-new paid expansion for online shooter The Division 2 that's heading to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on 3rd March.
Warlords of New York, as its name implies, sees The Division 2 leaving its current base of operations in Washington DC and returning to the city in which the series started in order to tie up a few narrative loose ends left dangling in The Division 1.
Players - either working solo or with friends via online co-op - are tasked with bringing down rogue former Division Agent Aaron Keener, as well as his four lieutenants, in a campaign that unfolds in the hurricane-ravaged summertime streets of Lower Manhattan. It's open-world, as you'd expect, and Ubisoft is attempting another 1:1 recreation of the area, incorporating real-life locations including Battery Park, Wall Street, Chinatown, and Two Bridges.
This includes an overhauled endgame, which introduces new three-month-long seasons, each themed around a different target and their own network of cohorts.
Ubisoft promises unique stories for each target, as well as a variety of other seasonal activities and related rewards, including challenge-based Leagues and time-limited Global Events, the latter applying global modifiers to the entire game. Players can expect the first season to begin a week after Warlords of New York's 3rd March launch.
Division 2 players interested in embarking on a trip to New York will have three purchase options come 3rd March. The expansion is available on its own - it's currently priced at £25.99 on the Ubisoft Store - or can be purchased as part of a new Standard Edition, which also includes the base game. Additionally, there's a new Ultimate Edition, featuring the base game and expansion, plus all Year 1 content, classified assignments, and unlocked specialisations.
