Here’s an interesting take on a game: Ubisoft has released The Division 2 update 1.36 patch this December 14, and this is for Title Update 14! While a new major title update is appreciated, Ubisoft has stealth released this one while delaying the Apparel Event set to be released alongside TU14.

The estimated downtime is 3 hours.

Maintenance/ Patch Notes:

• This is to implement Title Update 14

• You can find the Patch Notes Soon

Yep, you read that right. The actual patch notes will be released “soon,” which is odd given the dev team already knew they were rolling out the title update during today’s maintenance period.

Alongside this, the major update planned for Feb. 2022 has been postponed at a later — unspecified — date.
