Recently, there were rumblings thatThe Division 2would host an open betabefore the game’s launch, and now those suspicions have been confirmed. Ubisoft has announced thatThe Division 2open beta will run from March 1 to March 4, and will be available across all platforms, meaning PC, PS4, and Xbox One players will all have a chance to try the game before its official release.
Anyone who triesThe Division 2open beta will have a chance to check out some of the early areas in the game, as it sounds like it will be more or less the same content that was offered in the private beta. This means thatDivision 2players will likely have a chance toretrieve the Declaration of Independence, which is one of the more interesting side missions that’s available.
Those who participate inThe Division 2open beta will be rewarded in the full game for doing so. By simply playing the beta, players will unlock the DC Patriot skin for their weapons, and those who beat the Invaded mission will get the Capitol Hill arm patch to customize their character with.
The Division 2private beta was mostly well-received by fans, but had some notable technical issues. Considering this, those who played the private beta may want to check out the open beta as well to see what, if anything, has improved as we inch closer to the game’s official launch in March.
WhenThe Division 2does launch, it is aiming to keep players engaged with the game on a long-term basis. The firstDivisionwas criticized for its inability to keep players interested after they wrapped up the main story content, butThe Division 2is launching with the Invaded endgame missions, plenty of side missions, and a post-launch support plan that includes free DLC episodes.
While it remains to be seen ifThe Division 2will keep fans engaged and live up to the hype, the odds certainly seem to be in its favor.
The Division 2launches March 15 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
