The third expansion for The Division, titled Last Stand, along with the accompanying Update 1.6 have been slated for February 28th. The news came in the latest of The Division’s “State of the Game” live stream.
Last Stand and Update 1.6 will go live at the same time on all platforms, according to The Division’s developer, Massive Entertainment. Regularly scheduled weekly maintenance will happen from 12:30 a.m. to 3:30 a.m. Pacific prior to the release, which will introduce the expansion and its update. The expansion marks the end of the exclusivity deal Xbox had with The Division, where all expansions released early on Xbox One.
The patch notes will be released in full on Monday, February 27th, although Massive Entertainment says there won’t be many changes from the version of Update 1.6 that’s active right now on the public test server (PTS) known as PTS4, a continued iteration of the original Update 1.6 that went live on the PTR about a month ago.
A couple of features of the final Update 1.6 not currently live on the PTS but that will be detailed in the patch notes include improved server performance. Additionally, the PS4 version of the game will receive some special attention with Massive promising improved performance on the console including higher resolution and better upscaling.
There’s also a 24-hour live stream coming from Massive to welcome in the new Last Stand expansion when it launches on the 28th. Throughout the stream, some of the game’s developers will play Last Stand with other players and those who match up against or with them will receive a special reward. Beside showing off the new expansion, the stream will be set up as a charity stream to benefit the MS International Federation.
The Division is out now on PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
