The Division 2 Year 6 Roadmap Revealed: Story DLC Out in 2025
Earlier today, Massive Entertainment released Year 6 Season 1 for The Division 2, kicking off the game’s sixth year of support. Well, the devs aren’t done there, as The Division 2 Year 6 roadmap has been revealed, along with a “One Endgame,” and even new story DLC due out next year!
The Division 2 Year 6 Roadmap:
According to Massive, Year 6 is a year of transformation for the shooter. There are three seasons planned for Year 6, and each one will be bringing fundamental changes to the endgame and seasonal model.
ONE ENDGAME
Massive’s goal is to bring all The Division 2 players to level 40, which will ensure that all players will be able to experience the new content incoming from the studio.
With the start of Year 6 Season 1, players can reach level 40 without owning the Warlords of New York expansion and get access to past and future endgame content. Activities such as Incursions, Seasons, Manhunts, Countdowns, and Raids, previously available only to Warlords of New York owners, are now accessible at level 40 for all Division 2 players.
This change benefits all players, ensuring a level playing field in terms of content access. Players who did not own Warlords of New York can now experience and enjoy the true endgame, while those who are already there will witness the matchmaking queues filling up with new players and a new life taking over in the social aspects of the game.
SEASONS 2.0
According to the studio, they are re-evaluating the season model that was introduced in Warlords of New York back in 2020. Seasons 2.0 will “offer an exciting mix of new gameplay elements, new story, and rewards, all presented in a fresh way that allows for greater creativity and surprise.”
Players can expect seasonal characters. The devs explained this major change stating, “By focusing the season experience on new characters exclusively, we can create something unique each season with much more control over general balancing and player experience, without being constrained by the legacy of each individual existing characters.”
Each season is meant to be experienced from level 1, featuring a fully revamped and accelerated progression designed to swiftly guide players to the endgame while gradually introducing all game mechanics to prepare them for level 40. Seasons will offer a flexible structure allowing players to progress in many ways, but also provide clear guidance with series of objectives and projects to accompany players through their progression journey.
To create and maintain an ever-fresh experience, each season will introduce a new set of gameplay modifiers, enabling new playstyles and challenges that will require a reevaluation of established strategies and builds.
Players can expect all the XP and rewards they earned to be transferred to your main characters at the end of each season, while the seasonal characters will be added to your roster.
MANHUNT 2.0
Manhunts have also undergone a transformation in Year 6, with the introduction of weekly Scouts that offer engaging activities for seasonal characters. With Scouts, the Manhunt story will now progress weekly instead of monthly, offering an additional activity to engage in without disrupting your Season progression. As always, the Manhunt events will conclude with a new Climax Mission, but with a twist – the introduction of a new difficulty level called Master. The Master difficulty will be available on top of the existing Climax Mission difficulties (Normal through Heroic), providing a challenging gameplay experience tailored for a team of four players.
PLAYER EXPRESSION
Incoming later this 2024, Massive will introduce a slate of enhanced player customization features. The plan is, this new take will consolidate all customization features into a single, user-friendly interface, which will simplify the process of personalizing your characters.
There are also plans to showcase your characters in existing menus and allow players to display their achievements.
DLC
The Division 2 Year 6 will culminate with a new story DLC that will take players to where it all began – Brooklyn, New York, and it’s set to drop in 2025.
