Tom Clancy's The Division 2: Warlords of New York is a paid narrative expansion developed by Massive Entertainment and published by Ubisoft. Released on March 3, 2020, it sends Division agents from Washington, D.C. to a storm-damaged Lower Manhattan controlled by rogue agent Aaron Keener. It is downloadable content rather than a standalone game, so a copy of The Division 2 is required.
The campaign can be played alone or in online co-op and covers four connected districts: Civic Center, Two Bridges, Financial District, and Battery Park. Players investigate Keener's network, eliminate four rogue lieutenants, acquire new skill variants, and then pursue Keener. The purchase also includes a level-30 boost for players who want to enter the New York storyline without first completing the original Washington campaign.
New York is structured as an open campaign zone rather than a single linear mission chain. Fog initially obscures parts of the map, encouraging agents to locate safe houses, search for clues, complete activities, and decide which rogue lieutenant to investigate first. Ubisoft's launch overview lists five main missions and eight side missions across the four districts.
Each lieutenant specializes in a different Division skill, giving the investigations their own combat identity. The Rikers and Cleaners return alongside hostile groups manipulated by Keener, while environmental storytelling reconnects the expansion to the first Division game. Lower Manhattan has its own control points, bounties, projects, collectibles, and open-world encounters after the main pursuit is complete.
The expansion uses The Division 2's third-person cover-shooter foundation: agents combine firearms, armor talents, specialization weapons, grenades, and deployable technology. Enemy scaling supports solo play and groups of up to four, but positioning and target priority become increasingly important against armored elites and rogue agents.
Progress through the campaign unlocks the Decoy, Shock Trap, Explosive Sticky Bomb, and Incendiary Sticky Bomb, followed by the EMP Sticky Bomb from the final pursuit. These skill platforms remain tied to Warlords of New York ownership. Gear introduced around the expansion can support damage, armor, status-effect, skill-damage, or hybrid builds, while the recalibration library lets players extract eligible attributes and talents for later use.
Warlords of New York is still paid DLC in 2026. Its exclusive value is the Lower Manhattan map, its campaign and story missions, and its associated skill platforms and special gear. Ubisoft continues to sell it separately, and the official product pages still state that The Division 2 base game is required.
However, it is no longer required to reach level 40 or enter the shared endgame. Ubisoft's One Endgame update opened level 40, Seasons, Manhunts, Global Events, The Summit, Countdown, Incursions, and raids to every base-game owner. Current seasonal support, including Year 8 Season 3: Red Horizon in August 2026, demonstrates that The Division 2 remains active, but those live seasons should not be mistaken for Warlords-exclusive content.
No. It remains a paid expansion and requires The Division 2 base game. Ubisoft has occasionally offered temporary access events, but those do not make permanent expansion ownership free.
No. Since the One Endgame update, every owner of The Division 2 can reach level 40 in Washington, D.C. and access the common endgame without buying Warlords of New York.
The Lower Manhattan map, New York story missions, campaign-specific skills, and special gear remain tied to the expansion. Legacy Manhunt missions located in New York also require access to that map.
Yes. The New York campaign supports single-player progression as well as online co-op. Matchmaking is useful for tougher encounters but is not required to complete the story.
The expansion launched for Windows PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Console compatibility and storefront availability can vary by hardware generation and region, so use the official store linked on this page before purchasing.
