After multiple delays, The Division 2 finally gets new content this week

Ubisoft has revealed that The Division 2 is finally getting new content. This is the game’s first major patch in 2022, and it arrives alongside a new season. Season 9: Hidden Alliance will include the usual: a new target, new gear and weapons, and a new battle pass.

But there’s also a host of free additions, in the form of the co-op mode Countdown, and a new weapon upgrade feature dubbed Expertise. Hidden Alliance kicks off this Thursday, May 12.

Countdown is an eight-player co-op mode that tasks everyone with clearing out a power plant from enemies and other hazards. Players are split into two teams of four, and they have just 15 minutes to get the job done. Each team will deploy at a separate location and face unique challenges and objectives. Think of it like sort of a raid-lite experience.
