Now for a little bit about the Division 2 story trailer itself. It serves both to introduce us to Washington DC after the apocalypse, and also show us some of the action. The basic premise stays the same, just in a new location. The game takes place seven months after the first game. You and your team are tasked to defend the capital from roving gangs. There’s fascist groups, religious zealots, the works. Plus, there seems to be some kind of spec-ops team that aims to destroy the Division “with extreme prejudice.” Sounds like a cool enough setting; I’m cautiously curious to see what they do with it.

Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is coming out on March 15th, 2019. You can play it on Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4. In the meantime, check out the aforementioned story trailer below. I feel it sets the mood quite well. Here’s to hoping that the sequel learns from the mistakes of its predecessor and ends up offering a better overall experience.
