Ubisoft is set to take another wave of challenges for agents to face in The Division 2 as part of its TUY8S2.2 update, and it starts today.

But before that happens, The Division 2 servers need to be taken down on July 21, and this is part of the game’s maintenance before the title update is released.

For the schedule and title update details, read on.
