Ubisoft has confirmed the release date for the up to now delayed Season 11 Reign of Fire for The Division 2, and it is coming out on February 28th. Season 11 was originally set to be released on February 7th but delays in the localisation process saw the release pushed back just two days before it was due to go live. Ubisoft has stated that The Division 2 will be offline for three hours on February 28th from the following times; 09:30 AM CET, 03:30 AM ET, 12:30 AM PT.
The Division 2 Season 11 will see a new Manhunt and the target is Zachary “Stovepipe” Beattie. He is a explosives specialist who has been recruited by the Black Tusk, so finding him is the main point of the season. To do this though, four other targets need to be taken out and they are Charles “Chunks” Crawford, Lieutenant Bantam, Mort “Cursed” Kellogg and Beatrice “Auntie” Kaplan. Chunks is the first target that will be available to take out, followed by Bantam in March, Cursed in April and Auntie in May. The season will also bring new weapons and gear including the Sacrum Imperium rifle, the NinjaBike Messenger Bag, and the Prophet Police 686 Magnum revolver. A number of quality of life changes will also be coming with Season 11, and you can read the patch notes below.
