It has been seven long years of non-stop conflict in the world of The Division 2, but Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment are not done just yet. In fact, the team is bringing players back to where it all began with the upcoming Battle for Brooklyn DLC.
Launching alongside the new season this May 27, players will visit post-pandemic New York during Fall for the first time and explore the iconic Brooklyn neighborhoods of Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo.
Brooklyn has been relatively peaceful, with civilians working together and thriving while hostile factions ravaged Manhattan. However, the Cleaners and Rikers have now moved across the river, threatening the fragile tranquillity of the Brooklyn settlement with the Purple Flame.
As players progress through the linear campaign of Battle for Brooklyn, either solo or in co-op, they will need to find out how the Cleaners are mass-producing the Purple Flame to save civilians from this suspicious attack.
Battle for Brooklyn features unlockable skills, including the return of Smart Cover from The Division 1, which enables players to reinforce cover, gain offensive and defensive buffs, and enhance pulse resistance for all allies. Available as a DLC exclusive, the Catalyst Exotic Mask will be helpful for combat against the Cleaners, thanks to its bonuses for dealing and receiving status effect damage.
The development team unveiled the three main goals for Year 7 as well during this latest showcase: improving the onboarding process for new agents, adding more depth to the endgame, and solidifying seasons as a cornerstone of The Division 2 experience. Players can expect new events and realigned modifiers, gear, and gameplay that better reflect the narrative elements of the seasons.
The DLC will also be available with purchases of The Division 2 Gold or The Division 2 Ultimate editions. Both editions include the standard game, the Warlords of New York expansion, 50 stash space slots, and a level 40 boost, allowing players to dive into the Battle for Brooklyn campaign right at launch. The Ultimate edition additionally includes 1000 Bonus Premium Credits and the Year 1 Pass, unlocking endgame specialisations, exclusive missions, and more.
