The Division 2 is an example of how Ubisoft (generally) gets games as a service right. The title is constantly updated, there is always something to do and the game is well maintained. While the player base isn’t what it used to be, The Division 2 has a hardcore following of loyal fans.
Ubisoft has shared that the game is due a giant new update towards the end of 2021, or potentially even 2022, loaded with new content for players to sink their teeth into.
Before that, however, The Division 2 has received a small update today, March 9, which lays the foundation for the Season Reruns that have been mentioned, as well as a bug fix. All the details you need are below.

What’s changing in The Division 2 March 9 update? Minor Patch Notes:
While nothing major is changing in this update, Ubisoft has implemented an important bug fix as well as laying the foundation for the seasonal reruns. Ubisoft’s notes are as follows:
- Beginning of seasonal re-runs, starting with Season 5 (Season 1: Shadow Tide).
- Fixes to crash to desktop issues.
These reruns offer players the chance to play through earlier seasons of The Division 2 to earn loot and complete challenges they may have missed the first time around.
What’s next for The Division 2?
As part of a recent developer post, Ubisoft shared the following:
“In the next major update, we are looking to bring a game mode that is entirely new to the franchise. Along with the game mode, we are investigating new ways to progress your agent with an emphasis on increasing build variety and viability. We will be revealing more about what lies ahead as the update gets closer.”
This is really exciting news for players. As noted, The Division 2 has built up a really dedicated following, so the chance to play through new content and have the game’s life extended is almost certainly welcome.
