The last major Ubisoft release for 2018,
Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, has already launched, giving the French publisher a chance to focus on next year's projects, with
Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 being one of the biggest ones. In fact,
The Division 2 and
Skull & Bones are the only two big-budget Ubisoft video games confirmed to release in 2019, with the rumored
Watch_Dogs 3 potentially joining them soon.
Set in Washington D.C.,
Tom Clancy's The Division 2 takes place seven months after the deadly virus was released in New York and ruined the once-great city. Just like the first
Division, the sequel will spotlight people who banded together to survive by any means necessary, this time facing the True Sons, a militaristic faction made up of mutineers and criminals who believe that "might makes right."
To fight them, the agents will use five different special abilities they will have a chance to upgrade in-game. This month, Ubisoft is covering five different skill categories: the Chem Launcher, Drone, Hive, Seeker Mine, and Turret. Each skill category comes in several variants with very different gameplay and effects, and these are just some of the skills you can expect to see on March 15th. Check it out below:
CHEM LAUNCHER:
DRONE:
HIVE:
SEEKER MINE:
Washington D.C. is on the brink of collapse. Lawlessness and instability threaten our society, and rumors of a coup in the capitol are only amplifying the chaos. All active Division agents are desperately needed to save the city before it's too late. You are a member of the Division, an elite group of civilian agents charged with being the last line of defense. With DC at risk, it's time to gear up and use your unique skills to take on this new threat.
Tom Clancy's The Division 2 will be available March 15th, 2019 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
