Extraction is becoming a popular mode in multiplayer shooters, with The Division 2 joining the trend. Ubisoft recently announced its new mode, titled The Division 2: Survivors. This mode will be spearheaded by Magnus Jansén, who was responsible for the original game’s design.
Ubisoft indicated that the mode aims to present an “updated take on survival extraction experience” while ensuring close collaboration with the gaming community throughout development. As Julian Gerighty, the executive producer stated:
“The Division 2: Survivors is as much your baby as it is ours, and we strive for transparency during development. Clear communication and community involvement are a focus as we build the new experience.”
This announcement comes as the game progresses in its longevity, six years post-launch, showcasing Ubisoft’s commitment to keeping The Division 2 relevant and engaging. Players can anticipate new mechanics and features when Survivors eventually launches, although a release date has not yet been confirmed, likely not before 2026.
