🗽 CENTRAL PARK
Future The Division 2 expansion
Return to New York, this time in Central Park
Only a short teaser has been shown so far.
Enemies, story, gameplay and release details are still unknown.
🔮 SPECULATION
The return of the Rikers in Broken Rain could potentially be connected to the future Central Park content.
Broken Rain could emphasize rushers, shields, heavies and status effects.
The dam and storm could introduce flooding, electrical hazards, reduced visibility or environmental mechanics.
Teams might need more than four DPS builds: tank, crowd control, healer, hazard protection, etc.
Riker Leaders capable of buffing nearby enemies are another possibility.
Everything in this final section is speculation and is not confirmed.
