There’s a fair amount of anticipation for Tom Clancy’s The Division scheduled for release come 8 March. This open world game takes place in New York, devastated by a virus and abandoned by the military, leaving those left behind to fend for themselves. Obviously this doesn’t bode well if you're looking for a skinny latte with wings at the local Starbucks. Ubisoft has now revealed early details on the post-launch plans for the game, including what players can expect in the Season Pass.

In the pipeline are several free updates, new features and functionality, as well as three major expansions to provide a “renewed gameplay experience” after launch, according to Ubisoft. The good news is that the free updates will be released for all players and will add new game modes such as challenging group-oriented operations to test players’ abilities in co-op mode and win unique rewards.

The three paid expansions are included in the Season Pass and will be released over the course of the year. Each expansion builds on The Division, continuing your agent’s journey and progress with new content, gear and gameplay as you fight to take back New York. They include:

•          Expansion I: Underground

This first major expansion opens a new territory to players as they explore the uncharted underworld of New York City with up to three friends for intense co-op action.

•          Expansion II: Survival

In this expansion, the whole map turns into a Dark Zone for a hardcore multiplayer experience.

•          Expansion III: Last Stand

Unfortunately, Ubisoft is mum about what is set to take place here, noting that more info is set to follow.

Apart from access to the three expansions, there are a couple more bonuses for Season Pass holders, including the exclusive sawn-off shotgun, while they will also receive a set of exclusive outfits and weapon skins, as well as access to special monthly benefits including exclusive content drops and special events.

The Season Pass is included in the Gold Edition and Sleeper Agent Edition of the game.

Tom Clancy’s the Division will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC on 8 March. Click the trailer below to see if you can make it in post-virus New York.
