Tom Clancys The Division | Update 1.8 Coming Soon
THE
DIVISION® COMES FREE THIS SPRING
The Free
Update Will Expand the Game Map, Introduce Two New Game Modes, and More
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA — August 31, 2017 — Ubisoft has announced that Update 1.8
“Resistance” for Tom Clancy’s The Division will release simultaneously on all
platforms this spring. Update 1.8 “Resistance” will be the biggest free update
thus far for Tom Clancy’s The Division and introduce two new games modes while
expanding the game map with a new area: West Side Pier.
West Side Pier is a completely new area spread across two new zones and accessible for
all players. Defeated factions were last seen converging towards the sector and
seem to have started working together for the first time. The Division must
investigate the area to confirm that factions are indeed forging an alliance
and determine the reason of their sudden interest in this location. In addition
to the variety of open world activities available across the whole map, West
Side Pier will be home to two new game modes:
- Resistance (PvE mode) – In Resistance, the different factions are teaming
up for the first time to fight against Division agents. Varied enemy NPCs
continuously spawn in waves as up to four agents try to survive for as
long as they can and earn rewards.
- Skirmish (PvP mode) – In Skirmish, two teams of four players compete
against each other to get the highest number of kills before the time
expires. Teams earn points each time a downed enemy player is eliminated.
Division agents will also convene in a new social hub, Camp Clinton, from
which they will be able to group up with other agents and adjust their gear
before taking the fight to West Side Pier.
Additionally, Update 1.8 “Resistance” will include improvements to the
Underground DLC, a revamp of the rogue mechanics, as well as an optimization of
the gear system letting players improve the stats of their favourite equipment.
Those looking to get more information about the new content included in Update
1.8 “Resistance” can tune into the Tom Clancy’s The Division State of the Game
livestream on twitch.tv/thedivisiongame tomorrow, Sep 1, starting 1AM AEST.
Following the release of Update 1.7 earlier this summer, Update 1.8
“Resistance” is the second of the two substantial free updates planned for the
Year 2 of Tom Clancy’s The Division. In addition to these major updates and
line with the development team’s commitment to continuously updating and
improving the game, Year 2 has already brought several gameplay and quality of
life updates the Tom Clancy’s: The Division, and will continue to add more in
the coming months.
Tom Clancy’s The Division takes place weeks after a devastating pandemic
sweeps through New York City on Black Friday. One by one, basic services fail
and in only days, without food or water, society collapses into chaos. The
Division, an autonomous unit of tactical agents leading seemingly ordinary
lives among us, is activated to save society. In this immersive online open
world action RPG, discover a hostile and dynamic environment where exploration
and player progression are essential. Team up with other players to investigate
the sources of the virus and reclaim the city from the overwhelming turmoil.
Tom Clancy’s The Division is now available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4
and Windows PC.
