The Division 2 has loved a protracted life since its 2019 launch, however it looks as if the looter shooter has lastly tripped. Just final week, Ubisoft delayed the game’s imminent Season 11 launch on account of localisation points that had been “impacting the expertise for a lot of gamers.” But within the technique of fixing that subject, Ubisoft had unintentionally “introduced down the construct era system,” which means that no updates have been doable till the system was rebuilt. At least they’re being sincere.
This isn’t the primary occasion of a delayed season in The Division 2. When this has occurred previously, the crew merely prolonged actions from the earlier season, however Ubisoft say “this isn’t doable” in a tweet from yesterday. The tweet continues to learn, “we’re unable to make server or shopper facet updates till the construct era system is restored.”
The Division 2 is at present in unscheduled upkeep with the patch notes claiming to repair a number of crashes and different bugs. So, it looks as if Ubisoft labored quick to revive their construct programs? We’ll see if this patch clears the murky waters. Either manner, it’s not but clear if The Division 2 will proceed its tenth season, or if it’ll simply sit in a no man’s land till Season 11 is prepared.
Regardless, I kinda really feel unhealthy for the poor dev who unintentionally turned a localisation repair right into a improvement halting subject. Fans in on-line boards have discovered humour within the state of affairs, and I suppose Ubisoft’s admission is humorous. It’s like watching a well-meaning youngster assist with chores, solely to interrupt no matter they contact and admit it by means of a mumble. There’s a meme in right here someplace, proper?
This most likely isn’t the very best timing for the shooter-MMO hybrid, because it solely hit Steam final month. I solely performed a bit little bit of The Division 2, and similar to Brendan, I used to be in awe of its tense, survival-focused Dark Zone. You can choose up The Division 2 (and hope it will get mounted) on Steam for £26/€30/$30.
