Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 has already had a very extended lifespan, having launched back in 2019, and Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment have no plans to slow down as they’ve just kicked off the game’s fifth year of content. The big addition in Year 5, Season 1 is “Descent,” a full-on co-op roguelite mode that Ubisoft promises will offer “an infinite difficulty curve.” Of course, new missions, weapons, and plenty more are also on the way. You can check out a quick trailer for The Division 2 Y5S2, entitled “Broken Wings,” below.

　　Here's a bit more detail on the new Descent mode…

　　“Descent is a free, 1-to-4 player game mode with semi-infinite and randomized progression, versus an infinite difficulty curve. Warlords of New York ownership is not required to access the mode.

　　Agents are stripped of all their gear, specializations and perks when starting the game mode. The mode is a playground where you can experiment with builds not feasible in the regular game, challenging them tactically and encouraging deeper understanding of the build meta. This AR training simulation at the NSA Facility was designed to test the limits of the Ortiz Robotics tech. Leave your gear and SHD tech behind to help Wally extract intel from the NSA database.

　　Access Descent from the Mega Map, Castle Settlement Door, Matchmaking Station, and Helicopter Pilot to activate the simulation. Equip weapons, skills and talents, take turns exploring rooms, defeat enemies, bosses and the ultimate opponent: the Nemesis. Continue your Run after defeating the Nemesis and see how far you can go for exclusive leaderboard rewards! Discover the history of the simulation and Ortiz Robotics' connection to the Division and the Black Tusk each week in your Collectibles menu.”

　　The Division 2 Y5S2 will also offer new story missions that task you with tracking down a series of missing civilians, new gear, the “Escalation” apparel event, and more. You can check out full patch notes for the update, right here.

　　The Division 2 can be played on PC, Xbox One, PS4, and Luna, and via backward compatibility on Xbox Series X/S and PS5. Year 5, Season 1 content is available now. You can get more details on Year 5 here.
