Washington DC is in crisis: If you saved New York from the virus pandemic in Tom Clancy’s The Division, the first part of Ubisoft’s role-playing shooter, it’s now the turn of the American capital. As a member of the eponymous division, an elite group of civilian agents, it is your job to restore law and order in the metropolis. Ubisoft provides a variety of ways to play in The Division 2: You can tackle the adventure solo or in co-op mode.

Agents who are particularly willing to take risks can duel in PvP mode or hunt for particularly valuable equipment in the Dark Zone.
