It looks like gamers are going to get their hands on the "Tom Clancy's The Division" Survival expansion pack sooner than expected. The Xbox One listing for the downloadable content has been revealed suggesting that it may come out on Nov. 22, along with update 1.5.

Ubisoft hasn't officially confirmed this yet, so it's possible the date may change. The Division Zone did point out that big updates usually roll out on a Tuesday, so the date looks promising. Furthermore, the test phase for the Survival DLC and the update has already ended and the Public Test Server is now closed.

While PC and Xbox One gamers will get the DLC simultaneously, PlayStation 4 players will have to wait 30 days after the release to get their hands on it thanks to an exclusive deal between Ubisoft and Microsoft. At least, PS4 players will get the DLC before Christmas if it does come out on Nov. 22.

The Survival expansion pack will introduce players to a two-hour mission that will require a total of 24 players to participate. The task is to find a cure for the pandemic that has been ravaging Manhattan, but players will have to look for food, clothing, medicine, and other supplies to survive the harsh conditions. Apparently, players will have to travel to an area called the Dark Zone, which happens to be at the center of the map.

Players can also choose two different modes while playing the DLC. In player versus environment (PvE) Survival, players can work together and cooperative play is encouraged. On the other hand, gamers who chose the player versus player (PvP) Survival mode can engage in a free-for-all slugfest where it's every man for himself. Players will also get 20 percent more points in this mode.
