Ubisoft communicated that there is a news flash on the horizon for The Division 2, captioning its announcement with “the hunt starts soon.” Eagle-eyed Reddit users might have spoiled the surprise, though, because an Xbox API listing threw up a new expansion for the game. Titled “The Warlords of New York”, the new content contains a level cap boost to 40, new exotics, gears, and skills, and an all-new playground in New York. “New York is under threat. Aaron Keener, a former Division Agent turned rogue, has taken control of Lower Manhattan, backed by four devoted and highly skilled lieutenants. Trained by The Division but disavowing its ideals, they are now the highest authority in town and the most formidable force the Agents have ever faced,” read the description from TrueAchievements.
The Warlords of New York is a “narrative expansion,” and the leak claims that this comes with thematic three-month seasons that launch on March 3. There is also an Ultimate Edition, that boasts a boost to level 30, instant unlock of all six endgame specialisations, eight exclusive Classified assignments, three cosmetic packs, and an exclusive emote and an exclusive outfit.
Now, we don’t know that this expansion is definitely happening, we don’t know that it’s definitely titled “The Warlords of New York,” and we don’t know if it would have all of that described content. Ubisoft has not confirmed or denied the leaks. But, the cover art discovered by the Xbox API scrubber looks legit, and TrueAchievements has been on the money before. We’ll hang fire for the time being, as all will be revealed when the livestream for the announcement begins.
Tom Clancy's The Division 2 is out now for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Watch the livestream below.
