Ubisoft has revealed some changes coming to the next seasons in The Division 2. The developers are going to extend the duration of each season in the game to four months, from the previous three month-long seasons. This move is communicated as something to improve the overall experience, delivering the content that gamers are expecting alongside any technical improvements that may be necessary in the meantime. We also get to know that The Division 2 Year 5 Season 2 is now set for October, following these changes.
The message comes from the official Tom Clancy’s The Division Twitter account, and explains the reasoning behind the decision. As the message states, Year 5 Season 2 will start in October, and this change will help Massive Entertainment to allocate more time and resources to make technical improvements to the game.

Here is the full message from The Division 2 development team for your reading convenience:
Agents, we want to share an important update regarding the upcoming Seasons in The Division 2. In our ongoing commitment to enhance your gaming experience, we have decided to extend the duration of each season to four months. Season 2 will now start in October.
This change allows us to allocate more time and resources so we can make technical improvements to the game alongside the seasonal content you expect.
We are fully committed to delivering the best possible experience in The Division 2. Without your support and dedication, we would never have gotten this far. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we focus on these enhancements.
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to sharing more with you later this year.
This means that The Division 2 will have three annual seasons instead of four, but Ubisoft confirmed that no seasons will be lost, “just moved to a later date.” We also get some details on the upcoming The Division 2 DLC, which “won’t be coming out this year,” and the studio is working on updating the roadmap.
It won't be coming out this year. We're working on updating the roadmap.
