Those are the headlines; now let’s break it on down.
The first part of the fifth title update for The Division 2 is slated to arrive on Tuesday, July 30th, with early access for Year One pass owners starting on Tuesday, July 23rd.

Finally, the folks at Massive have granted a look back to last year when the audio team for The Division 2 took a trip to Chernobyl in order to get some unique sound effects for the game.
