'Tom Clancy's The Division' DLC update: Heroic mode for new Incursion mission arrives; PS4 release for 'Underground' in early August

Ubisoft Blog

Although Ubisoft has already released new expansion pack for "Tom Clancy's The Division," the new DLC is still being updated with new content. Just recently, new in-game features and items went live for the new "Underground" DLC.

In the recent "State of the Game" livestream, developer Ubisoft revealed that the new Incursion mission, Dragon's Nest, now has a Heroic mode for the more veteran players looking for a challenge. With the new playing mode unlocked, players will get Level 35 Elite enemies among the Cleaners factions when playing Dragon's Nest. In addition, the new Heroic mode completes the Dragon's Nest mission as the biggest Incursion for "The Division" to date, featuring the game-wide enemies the Cleaners as the primary faction in-mission. As a major update, the new Incursion also features two big boss battles, multiple location sections, and at least a number of new and tweaks in-game bonuses. All the new content ca be accessed via the underground tunnels beneath New York City, the main location for the new DLC.

Meanwhile, the new "Underground" DLC is only the tip of the iceberg for paid DLC packs for "The Division." Ubisoft previously confirmed that the new DLC is only the first of three planned DLCs to be released during the course of the year-long cycle. After "Underground," the developer established two more upcoming DLC packs, "Survival" and "Last Stand."

Since the new feature for the "Underground" DLC has only rolled out recently, Ubisoft hopes that the lukewarm reception to the new expansion will change prior to the roll out of another major update. Complaints of loots and unbalanced plays mar the release of "Underground," and observers agree that the new content is still lacking in some vital elements, particularly for its single-player feature.

"Tom Clancy's The Division" is out for the Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
