"Tom Clancy's The Division" is set to get several new updates and features with the upcoming "Survival" DLC, but no official release date has been given as of writing. Ubisoft has confirmed, however, that the DLC is only coming out this year and that it will launch immediately after the release of update 1.4.

As stated on the official site, the 1.4 patch will focus primarily on fixing a lot of known bugs and glitches in the game. Ubisoft has linked a page to showcase the known issues with the game and states that these issues are the ones they are targeting to eradicate with the new update.

Ubisoft also explains that the new update will make loot drops more relevant to each individual player and that it will make a few subtle changes to enemy difficulty as well the time to kill each target. It will also work on balancing weapons and Gear Sets one more time and enhance the solo playing experience given that not every consumer wants to play "The Division" with online multiplayer.

The announcement also states it will be balancing PvP and Dark Zones and will be making some changes to improve "gaming quality of life," such as weapon skins no longer consuming inventory space.

No official release date has been announced for the update, but it is speculated to be coming out before the end of the year, presumably before the end of October or November. Ubisoft has yet to confirm or deny if this is indeed happening or if the update and DLC will be pushed to early 2017.

As reported by the iTech Post, the "Survival" DLC was meant to launch much earlier, but it had to be pushed back as Ubisoft prioritized on fixing some of the bugs and glitches in the game. The report does state that this was a good thing because it allowed the developers to move forward with the Elite Task Force initiative.
