One of the biggest criticisms launched against Tom Clancy’s The Division was its shallow end-game content.

However, during E3 2018 when the game was officially unveiled to the world, Ubisoft emphasized that Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 will not make the same mistake.
The centerpiece of the sequel’s post-launch content will be ‘raids,’ a co-op activity the game’s community has long requested.
That said, while we already knew at least one eight player raid was coming after the initial launch, we now have word that players won’t just have one raid to look forward to for year one, but multiple raids.
Word of multiple raids comes way of the game’s Creative Director Julian Gerighty (via Gamertag Radio), who unfortunately doesn’t go into any details about just how many will come, or what they will look like. In fact, we don’t know a great deal about Raids, or how they differ from Incursions. However, I’m sure raids will be at the core of the game’s pre-release information drip, so expect more fleshed out info soon.
Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is poised to release on March 15th via the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. You can get caught up on the all of the latest on the shooter, here.
