  • DARKNESS DESCENDS ON MANHATTAN — THE DIVISION 2: ECHOES OF CENTRAL PARK OUT NOW

    DARKNESS DESCENDS ON MANHATTAN — THE DIVISION 2: ECHOES OF CENTRAL PARK OUT NOW

    The park has been silent — until now

    For the first time in franchise history, the gates are open. Central Park and the Upper West Side — sealed off since the outbreak, shrouded in mystery and fear — are yours to explore. But something waits among the trees. Whispers spread through the streets: people vanishing, bodies found in the shadows, rumours of a new virus variant. Panic is feeding on itself. And you’re the one sent to find the truth.

    The Division 2: Echoes of Central Park — the darkest, most atmospheric chapter yet in the series — is out now.

    Into the unknown — a story told through fear and memory

    You answer a distress call from Miranda Veer, CEO of Veer Corp, deep within the park. What begins as a rescue mission quickly unravels. The area is gripped by paranoia: neighbours suspect neighbours, factions vanish without trace, and a sinister presence is said to hunt the tree-lined paths after dark.

    The story unfolds as a haunting flashback narrative — one survivor recounts what happened, but her version of events may not be the whole truth. Your job is to separate fact from fear, reality from rumour, and uncover what truly lurks in the deep woods.

    You don’t go alone — earn their trust, fight as one

    Three reluctant heroes call this part of Manhattan home. None are eager to help, but all have skin in the game. You must win their confidence before they’ll stand beside you:

    • A former Division agent — knows the system and how to break it
    • A battle-hardened athlete — unmatched speed and survival instinct
    • A resourceful local — knows every alley, shortcut, and hidden trail

    Only one can accompany you at a time, and each brings a unique fighting style, abilities, and personal stakes in the mission. Build their trust, and they’ll fight harder, share more, and reveal secrets no one else knows.

    A whole new Manhattan — twice the size of Battle for Brooklyn

    The new playable zone is expansive and atmospheric:

    • Central Park reclaimed — overgrown, shadow-draped, and far larger than any previous open zone
    • Upper West Side streets — residential blocks, shops, and landmarks frozen in the moment the panic took hold
    • Horror-inspired tone — quieter, tenser, and more unsettling than any Division campaign before it
    • Story-driven campaign — uncover layers of mystery as you push deeper into the park

    Beyond the story — endgame, gear, and crossplay

    Once the main campaign concludes, Central Park transforms into a dynamic endgame zone: return on your own terms, scale the difficulty, and face escalating threats for exclusive rewards. You’ll also find:

    • Six new skill variants — abilities shaped by the very threats you overcome
    • New Exotic weapon: The Ratel — distinctive, powerful, and earned through park challenges
    • Brand-new gear set — built for sustained combat and survival
    • Level 40 boost included — jump straight into the action
    • Crossplay incoming — play with Agents across all platforms in an upcoming update

  • Into the Shadows — The Division 2: Echoes of Central Park Launches November 3!

    Into the Shadows — The Division 2: Echoes of Central Park Launches November 3!

    New York’s most iconic landmark has fallen silent — and something terrible has taken root. Ubisoft has officially unveiled The Division 2: Echoes of Central Park, the game’s darkest and most ambitious expansion yet, arriving November 3, 2026.

    The Signal. The Mission. The Horror.

    When the Strategic Homeland Division intercepts a mysterious distress signal deep within Central Park, you’re deployed to extract a high-value target: Miranda Veer. What starts as a standard rescue mission quickly unravels. The park — once a symbol of life — has become a place overtaken by fear, vanishing civilians, whispered legends, and a terrifying new apex threat lurking in the shadows.

    Rumours spread faster than truth. Factions vanish. And the deeper you go, the more you realise: you aren’t just hunting a target — you’re being hunted.

    Explore the Unseen

    For the first time in franchise history, step into Central Park and the Upper West Side — from Lincoln Square to the Dakota District. This isn’t the bustling green heart you remember; it’s a sprawling, decaying expanse where GPS fails, fog clings to the trees, and every shadow could be the last thing you see.

    Fight Together. Survive Together.

    You won’t face the dark alone. Three unique companions join your mission, each with specialised combat abilities and their own perspective on what’s happening:

    • Specialist — brings heavy firepower and defensive expertise
    • Analyst — deciphers clues, reveals hidden threats, and disrupts enemy networks
    • Survivor — knows the park better than anyone, guiding you through secret paths and ambushes

    What Awaits in the Dark

    The Truth Is Buried Deep

    Enemy factions — including the Black Tusk and the Cleaners — patrol the perimeter, but they’re not the real danger. Something has moved into the park. Something that turns missing people into something far worse. The urban legends aren’t just stories anymore. They’re warnings.

    Every choice, every path, every encounter shapes what you find — and what survives. The park has been waiting. Now, it’s your turn.

    Agents, your distress signal has been received. Echoes of Central Park — November 3. Don’t go alone.

  • Star Wars Empire State Building Takeover

    Star Wars Empire State Building Takeover

    What better place on Earth could there possibly be to feature Star Wars than the Empire State Building in New York? This might sound like an invasion but it is all part of the Imperial March event that runs right through to the Fourth of May and we all know what that day represents. This light show is nothing less than spectacular with images of villains, vehicles and scenes from the movies. We can expect more events like this over the coming weeks.

  • PAC-MAN Drone Display Over New York City

    PAC-MAN Drone Display Over New York City

    There is no doubt that drones are very useful and in some cases such as this event that took place over New York City drones can put on a fantastic light show. The event was for the Pac-Man Shine On event campaign and of course, the Pac-Man Chomp Chops game, but this event was all about just being spectacular and as you would expect, it was simply brilliant.

    It is amazing what can be done with drones, lights and a little technology these days, this display simply shows how all this technology brought together in a fantastic location such as New York City can produce a wonderful and lifelike Pac-Man display in the night sky.
