The Division, the third person shooter released last year by Ubisoft on PC and consoles, has gone through its own good share of bad times, but the team worked hard to turn things around and offers the best possible experience. And it looks like work won't be ending anytime soon.

We are looking to reengage the players in light of the first year celebration for The Division by recommitting ourselves to the game in the upcoming 12 months. We will be delivering two separate expansion packs for the game free to everybody in the next 12 months.

Not much has been said about the two expansions, but it's been confirmed that the first one will be released sometime this Summer. This yet to be named expansion will reward players for spending time in the game and add an events structure, which will reward players for taking parts in a variety of activities.

One of the biggest pieces of new content is an events structure, which will reward players for participation, completion, and competition within a playlist of activities that have a modifier. Basically, taking a set number of activities within the game and adding a spin to them that makes players see them in a whole different light and play them in a whole different way.

The Division is now available in all regions on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
