Massive Entertainment has just released the biggest free update in the history of Tom Clancy's The Division, but it doesn't mean that they are going to stop anytime soon. We also know that Ubisoft has some big plans for the franchise, including a proper Hollywood adaptation starring Jessica Chastain and Jake Gyllenhaal with an Oscar winning screenwriter and the picture's director Stephen Gaghan.

In an interview with IGN, Massive's managing director David Polfelds said that he would like to see the game's universe expanding beyond the first game. “I think it's a wonderful, wonderful brand that has so many potential stories in it. There are a lot of things that we didn't do in The Division 1 that are interesting to look at for that brand." Does it mean that Massive is working on The Division 2?

“I definitely think there's lots of space for continuation which is beyond just keeping The Division online... But I can't talk about that too much right now," Polfelds added. The developer is supporting the game with regular, bigger and smaller updates to make The Division as good as possible. "The way we see it is that our first obligation is to make The Division awesome. That's not something that ended on launch day. If it ever ends, who knows when, right? “I do think we are much closer today, especially after [Update] 1.8, to the game that we wanted to create, and also to the game that gamers were expecting at launch already," the developer concluded.

Ubisoft mastered the uneasy art of creating games "as a service" and Tom Clancy's The Division is just one example of that approach to developing games. The French publisher doesn't need to release a new game every year or at regular intervals. Just like R6: Siege, the games can be supported for years. Will we ever see The Division 2.0? For sure, but it probably won't happen anytime soon.

Tom Clancy’s The Division is an online action-RPG set in an immersive & realistic urban open world. Everything starts on Black Friday, when a devastating pandemic sweeps through New York City, and society starts to collapse into chaos. You are humanity’s last hope: a member of The Division, a unit of sleeper agents activated to save what remains.
