The Division's 1.8 Update Has a Release Window

The long awaited update 1.8 to Tom Clancy's The Division is now closer then before as a release window has been announced.

In a post on the titles website, the development team revealed the release window will be early December along with some details on the next global event. The delay on the update being released is due to the time needed to test the content-rich update and ensure it is up to standard. That said, the wait should be worth it with how much content is included plus a map expansion. 

Talking about global event #3 the team added: 

"The next Global Event will follow shortly after the release of Update 1.8. We realize that we haven’t been able to run the Global Events on a monthly basis as we originally planned due to the third Global Event being a part of Update 1.8. We have also noticed that a common community request is to re-run the existing Global Events during the downtime. The reason this isn’t being done is that it isn’t as easy as it sounds to setup on our end. In addition, we also feel that due to currently only having two events in the game as well as because a portion of the community having already received all the rewards possible that this is not quite the time to do it. We would rather look to re-run the events in the future with modified rewards and when we have a larger amount of events to rotate."

Recently the game had a double HVT reward weekend to keep players engaged following the dry period after global event #2.  

Tom Clancy's The Division is available now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
