Ubisoft has announced that the private beta for Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 will begin in early February.
The beta will last from February 7-10. Players can gain access to the beta by pre-ordering the game or by registering for limited spaces through The Division’s website. While details weren’t given, the beta will allow for players to “Experience the dangers of post-pandemic Washington, DC.”
A new story trailer was also released by Ubisoft today, which begins with the lines: “After we survived the initial attack in New York, our capitol needed us. But with the country slipping into civil war, who can we trust?” It goes on to describe that those left by the beginning of The Division 2 survived the viral outbreak that crippled America, but the struggle is far from over.
Enemies are described as “Ruthless factions [who] threaten to destroy the very fabric of our democracy; roving packs of hyenas, religious outcasts and depraved fascists prey on the weak and murder the innocent.” It’s up to Division agents to take down these factions and restore peace to a country that remains in tatters.
Ubisoft previously held a technical alpha for The Division 2, which received a generally warm reception from the select few who were able to participate in it. However, those who played it were held to a strict non-disclosure policy, and much of the footage of the alpha that was uploaded to the internet was swiftly taken down.
The Division 2 comes to PC, PS4 and Xbox One on March 15, 2019.
