You could be playing The Division 2 instead of reading this

Yes, that’s right: there’s an open beta going on right now for The Division 2, and you could be playing that instead of reading this story telling you about it. Okay, fine - maybe you need a little more information before you fire up that old Uplay launcher and suffer through however many updates have been pushed out since you uninstalled Far Cry 5. The Division 2 is a looter-shooter set in Washington, D.C. that casts you as the last line of defense between freedom, democracy, and The American Way, and utter chaos and anarchy. In all seriousness, though, The Division is a genuinely fun game - or at least, it turned into one over the course of its first year post-launch. All indications so far are that Ubisoft and developer Massive have learned a lot from that experience, and they’re starting The Division 2 off on pretty solid footing. The Division 2 open beta includes three story missions, plus the chance to build up the Theater Settlement and take on an array of side missions. Plus, you get a chance to play with some end-game level characters, each using a signature weapon that unlocks once you’ve finished the campaign.
