What's the game about?

PC System Requirements

Played from a third-person perspective, the game takes place in Washington D.C. seven months after its predecessor, in which a civil war between survivors and villainous bands of marauders breaks out. In the game, players can cooperate with each other to complete objectives. The game will also feature raids, which can be completed by up to eight players. Those of us who want to fool around with the settings, there will be a slew of options available. The multiplayer shooter is currently being developed by Massive Entertainment and uses the in-house Snowdrop engine, which supports the Direct3D-12 graphics interface as in its predecessor. The rendering engine should have been updated in many places offering improvements in global and volumetric lighting and the representation of leaves or dust, but also water and reflections.

Plot

Seven months after the Green Poison outbreak, the Agent is defending a civilian settlement when they receive a Division distress call from Washington D.C. The Agent journeys down to the city where the Division and the remains of the local Joint Task Force have set up their base of operations in the White House. Manny Ortega, the Division controller for D.C., instructs the Agent to work with Agent Kelso to help civilian settlements, fight bandit groups like the Hyenas, True Sons, and Outcasts and restore the SHD network which was gone offline. Meanwhile, Ortega and Kelso uncover information that a cure to Green Poison might be stored inside the United States Capitol, and that President Ellis may have survived the crash of Air Force One and is being held by one of the city's factions. Kelso is reluctant to waste time and resources to rescue Ellis, but Ortega points out that his security clearance may be needed to access the cure. The Agent continues to work to liberate city districts when they find and rescue Ellis from Hyena custody. Ellis confirms that a cure to not just Green Poison, but all viral infections, exists but he can only access it with a special briefcase. However, the briefcase is in the possession of the True Sons who are holding it in the Capitol. With the Capitol too fortified to assault yet, the Agent works to strengthen the Division's forces while continuing to weaken the other factions. Eventually, the Agent is able to restore the SHD Network, connecting all Division agents nationwide and Ellis promises to restore the United States no matter the cost. With the tide turning against them, the Hyenas, True Sons, and Outcasts retreat to their final strongholds.

With the help of civilian survivors and the JTF, the Agent assaults the strongholds and is able to eliminate the leadership of all of the factions while recovering Ellis' briefcase. However, as the Agent and the Division celebrate their victory, a new faction, the technologically advanced private security contractor Black Tusk, invades the city. Many of D.C.'s landmarks are quickly seized and Ellis goes missing, leaving the Agent to head out once again to repel the Black Tusk invasion.
