Six years after launch, The Division 2 is getting an 'updated take' on extraction shooting

Soldiers battle for survival in The Division 2: Survivors.

Extraction is the hot new mode for multiplayer shooters, even though it's been around since 2016 and therefore can hardly be considered "new". Every game from Delta Force to Marathon is trying to muscle in on stuffing your backpack with guns and skipping your way out of a map, with varying degrees of success.

Anyway, scrambling to get to the helicopter before it flies off is The Division 2, which Ubisoft has just announced is getting its own take on the game mode popularised by Hunt: Showdown and Escape from Tarkov—six years on from its launch in 2019. It's an odd time to start bolting on additional modes to this aging looter shooter, though I suppose it's good that The Division 2 is receiving such long-term support.
