The latest news about Ubisoft Massive's "The Division" has brought forth two new pieces of information: details about the next Incursion which will be included in May's "Conflicts" update and the fact that the developers apparently have plans to "reinvigorate" the game's PvE component.
The latest incursion titled "Broken Circle" is slated to arrive in May's "Conflicts" update. It can already be found at the top of the map, close to the left side of the Dark Zone. But more importantly, details about the upcoming incursion have also been made clear.
According to the description, "Broken Circle" will require a minimum recommended Gear Score of 220 to participate and will apparently have players face off against the Rikers in a battle to regain Manhattan's airspace.
"Go head to head with the Rikers and disable their SAM system to secure the Manhattan airspace," the description reads.
Details about what players can expect to encounter when the incursion goes live is unclear, but when the mission is completed they will get a purple gear set item for all their hard work.
"Broken Circle" is sure to be a welcome addition to "The Division's" post-game which is a little lacking in PvE content, however it might not be the only addition to PvE that is set to arrive later this month. In a recent livestream, when asked by one viewer whether there were any plans to "reinvigorate the PvE area," Community Developer Hamish Bode responded that there are.
Unfortunately, his statement didn't go into much detail about what these plans are, so as far as we know, this could be a reference to unreleased DLC, like the "Underground" expansion slated for June. However, a "State of the Game" broadcast is scheduled for tomorrow, May 4, so its possible that Ubisoft Massive will reveal its plans during the stream.
Either way, some content is better than no content, so we'll just have to wait for it to arrive.
The Division launched in March and broke sales records, but things have been tumultuous since then. While it has been pegged as a worthy rival to Bungie's "Destiny," it was also riddled with bugs, glitches and exploits. Many of these have been addressed, but just as quickly as they're deleted, more come to take their place. Ubisoft has plans to address those who take advantage of this with a variety of punishments ranging from suspensions to permanent bans, depending on the severity of the abuse and whether they are a first-time offender.
