The Division 2 Opens Free Weekend as Survivors Testing Approaches — original editorial gaming news illustration

Ubisoft has opened The Division 2 for free across PlayStation, Xbox and PC via Ubisoft Connect from September 24 through September 28, while also opening the door to registration for testing of The Division 2: Survivors. The forthcoming mode pushes the long-running looter-shooter toward extraction-survival territory, a genre apparently required by international law to appear somewhere in every modern multiplayer roadmap. Players reportedly do not need to own The Division 2 to register for Survivors testing. Ubisoft is also heavily discounting the base game during the free period, while preparing the Echoes of Central Park content for November 3. That update will revisit New York territory associated with the original Division while providing a repeatable endgame experience built around surviving increasingly dangerous encounters for increasingly attractive rewards. The sudden burst of activity around a game originally released in 2019 is notable, particularly because Ubisoft has already confirmed that The Division 3 is in development. Apparently Washington's heavily armed civilian population isn't ready for retirement just yet.
