The Division 2 released back in 2019 and despite improving nearly everything compared to the first game, including combat, mission structure, and progression, the game underperformed for Ubisoft. However, dedicated players have continued supporting it, and this support has convinced Ubisoft to continue developing new content for 2021.

In a post on the game's official Twitter account, Ubisoft said it had reversed course after previously planning to not develop any more major updates for The Division 2.

"Some of you had noticed that Title Update 12 was originally meant to be the last major Title Update for The Division 2, but thanks to your continued support, we are now in the early stages of development for fresh content to release later in 2021," the post said. "While it is still too early to go into more details today, you won't have to wait too long, as we will share more as soon as we can."
