The Division's Latest Update Releases Tomorrow, See The Full Patch Notes
Version 1.4 of The Division is nearly upon us. Ubisoft already revealed some big changes planned for the latest update, but with the impending release, now players can get a full list of the alterations in store.
This update is so substantial that the development team put the upcoming DLC plans on hold in order to get the core game's mechanics in order. The Division's official site spells out every last detail, but the big additions are the new World Tiers that control the difficulty (and rewards) of encounters. Beyond that, players can expect a variety of balance and quality-of-life tweaks, including adjustments to gear, interface, balance, and other areas.
Update 1.4 releases tomorrow, October 25.
Our Take
The Division came out in March of this year, and keeping players engaged for that amount of time can be challenging – especially when players have complaints about the core gameplay and progression. Even with these changes, The Division could face a challenging few months with a bunch of new shooters like Battlefield 1, Titanfall 2, and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare hitting shelves.
