SAN FRANCISCO – April 23, 2025 – Today during the Division 2 Showcase, Ubisoft announced that Battle for Brooklyn, alongside a new season, will be launching on May 27, while providing an in-depth look at the upcoming DLC’s gameplay, narrative, and Brooklyn setting. 

In Battle for Brooklyn, players will visit post-pandemic New York during fall for the first time and explore the iconic Brooklyn neighborhoods of Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo. Brooklyn has been relatively peaceful with civilians working together and thriving while hostile factions ravaged Manhattan. However, the Cleaners and Rikers have now moved across the river, threatening the fragile tranquility of the Brooklyn settlement with the Purple Flame.  

As players progress through the linear campaign of Battle for Brooklyn, either solo or in co-op, they will need to find out how the Cleaners are mass-producing the Purple Flame to save civilians from this suspicious attack.

Battle for Brooklyn features unlockable skills, including the return of Smart Cover from The Division 1, which enables players to reinforce cover, gain offensive and defensive buffs, and enhance pulse resistance for all allies. Available as a DLC exclusive, the Catalyst Exotic Mask will be helpful for combat against the Cleaners, thanks to its bonuses for dealing and receiving status effect damage. 

The Division team also unveiled the three main goals for Year 7: improving the onboarding process for new agents, adding more depth to the endgame, and solidifying seasons as a cornerstone of The Division 2 experience. Players can expect new events and realigned modifiers, gear, and gameplay that better reflect the narrative elements of the seasons.  

Starting April 24, players who own The Division 2 can wishlist Battle for Brooklyn for $14.99 or the Battle for Brooklyn Deluxe DLC on the Ubisoft Store.
