The Division 2's launch trailer captures the chaos in Washington

One of Ubisoft's most-anticipated new titles is The Division 2, the sequel to the popular first game that launched back in 2016. The Division 2 is a third-person military shooter which tasks you with stopping malicious forces from seizing control of the government in the District of Columbia. It's unclear how the rest of the country is affected at this point, but we should find out soon enough.

Today, the game received its long-awaited launch trailer. The short video focuses on the plot and the chaos that has engulfed the capitol. It seems like the endgame "Black Tusks" faction is deadlier than they initially seemed.

Last weekend, an open beta took place for The Division 2. A lot of gamers participated so hopefully the final game will be a polished experience when it launches in a few days.

The Division 2 will receive a lot of free updates in 2019 and if you own the Year 1 Pass, you can play them a few days early. The Year 1 Pass is included in the Gold Edition and Ultimate Edition, but you can also purchase it for $40. The pass grants early access to all additional content, instant access to new Specilizations, more Classified Assignments to reveal more about the city, and some cosmetic items that should help you stand out.
