The Division 2 has been gearing up for its eleventh season of content, but now that season has been delayed. Players will need to wait just a bit longer, but the good news is that The Division 2 still seems to be in a good place.
Originally released in 2019, The Division 2 has since received an expansion pack and 10 seasons' worth of content. The Division 2 finally released for Steam last month, as well, after the PC version spent years as an exclusive for Ubisoft Connect and the Epic Games Store. The tenth season reached those other platforms on September 13, 2022, and was titled "The Price of Power." It included new gear and weapons, along with other improvements. Season 11 was due to launch on February 7, but that's no longer the case.
In a tweet, the team behind The Division 2 announced the delay that pushes Season 11 back from its planned February 7 release. The tweet cited a series of delays in the localization process as the culprit, and noted it doesn't have a new release date set but will share one once it becomes available. At the moment, it is unclear how the delay might affect plans previously announced when Ubisoft teased year 5 content for The Division 2.
Ubisoft has experienced a variety of issues across its development studios in recent months. Some of its biggest upcoming titles appear to be in trouble, and Ubisoft has canceled seven games in as many months. The company remains committed to several promising releases, but some of the optimism that used to surround Ubisoft's regular releases appears to have evaporated. Hopefully, the team behind The Division 2 will be able to sort the localization issues and keep the game and its fresh content flowing for some time to come, especially with similar fare such as Ghost Recon Frontline getting canceled.
Despite the cancelations and delays, Ubisoft still has a lot of content on the way. Ubisoft announced The Crew: Motorfest, due later in 2023, and fans are looking forward to new entries in the Far Cry and Assassin's Creed franchises. The Division 2 could still have a long and exciting life ahead of it. If a slight delay improves the chances of the game and its players seeing that future, it's a small price to pay. After all, there's still plenty to do in the game's take on Washington D.C. mayhem, even without access to the "Reign of Fire" the new season's title promises.
The Division 2 is now available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
