The companies have yet to announce a launch date for the survival-action shooter, but fans can register at the game's official website for a chance to participate (and get five friend invites) for an upcoming closed beta. When the game does come out, it's expected to be available on consoles, PC and the cloud. Ubisoft has also revealed its roadmap for The Division 2 Year 5, which will start with the launch of Season One: Broken Wings wherein players have to rescue civilians taken hostage. Broken Wings will introduce a new free rogue-lite mode called Descent. Up to four people can play the mode together, though they'll have to start out without gear or any specialization available on the main game.
