Update: Ubisoft has surprised fans by launching the update that includes Warlords of New York a day early. Players on PS4, Xbox One, and PC have all received the update, so if you're looking to start playing and score some pre-order bonuses, now's a great time to jump in. The original story follows.
Now that The Division 2's first year of DLC has wrapped up, Ubisoft is dropping the loot-shooter's first major expansion to kick off Year 2. Called Warlords of New York, the expansion launches March 3 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Now's a good time to jump into the game and pre-order the expansion, as the base game has gotten some pretty major discounts. Whether you already own the base game, the first year of DLC, or have never owned The Division 2 at all, there's an edition that has you covered.
As you probably guessed, the Warlords of New York expansion takes players back to New York, which was the setting of the first game. A rogue agent named Aaron Keener has taken control of Lower Manhattan. You'll be tasked with taking him down, but to get to him, you'll have to fight through his four rogue agent guards in four new districts: Civic Center, Battery Park, the Financial District, and Two Bridges. Those familiar with the first game will recognize the Cleaner and Riker factions, though Ubisoft promises some surprises as well.
Pre-orders for the Warlords of New York expansion are currently live on PS4, Xbox One, and PC via UPlay and the Epic Games Store. If you want to try out the base game before throwing down any extra money, it's currently just $3 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The discounts end tomorrow, March 3.
