Operation Dark Hours, the first ever 8-player raid for
The Division 2, was supposed to launch on April 25th, but the plan has changed, as the team at Ubisoft Massive needs more time to polish the mode.
"
The reception for The Division 2 Title Update 2 and Tidal Basin has been generally positive, but we have also received a lot of feedback for improvements from our forums, Reddit, Twitter, and elsewhere," Ubisoft said on
The Division 2's website. "
In order to fine-tune the balance of our game and to ensure the best possible player experience for everyone, we've decided to move the release of Title Update 3—including Operation Dark Hours, our 8-player Raid—from April 25 to May 2019."
While we now know that the update will be releasing at some point next month, "
the final release date of Title Update 3 will be based on results from further testing and balancing of the game."
According to the studio,
Operation Dark Hours will be bigger than any challenge you've encountered in the base game so far, so Ubisoft will use that extra time to properly test the large amount of balance changes that are coming to both PvE and PvP as the result of the community’s feedback. Check it out:
