The Division 3 studio haไs a LOT o🧜n its plate right now.
The♓ first was a PvPvE mode with 45 players where you would "fend off against agents from a rogue faction known as the Vultures while surviving a virus". The other was Excursion Operations, a purely PvE mode in which you would "complete missions and collect loot/gear".
The last major update was way back in April of last year, when Ubisoft shওared gameplay footage reveaꦑling three new classes - Weapons Expert, Medic, and Survivalist. It also revealed that the base of operations--Rocket Rink--would be the first base of operations in the series that's shared among players, making it so that you could easily group up with strangers and customise your characters all in one spot.
