Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is a shooter RPG with campaign, co-op, and PvP modes that offers more variety in missions and challenges, new progression systems with unique twists and surprises, and fresh innovations that offer new ways to play. Take on The Division’s most critical mission yet, where you’ll tackle unprecedented dangers as you pull D.C. back from the brink. Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 was released on March 15, 2019 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.

You are a member of the Division, an elite group of civilian agents charged with being the last line of defense. With DC at risk, it’s time to gear up and use your unique skills to take on this new threat. Washington D.C. is on the brink of collapse. Lawlessness and instability threaten our society, and rumours of a coup in the Capitol are only amplifying the chaos. All active Division agents are desperately needed to save the city before it’s too late.

Responsibilities

Being part of the smaller Economy & Progression team, I worked on this project in a much larger design team and huge overall project team. Some of the tasks I’ve worked on are:

• Feature owner of several important game features (e.g. loot, inventory, scavenging), bringing these from initial briefing to final release state
• Implementing content for the above and other economy/progression related features
• Continuous post-launch balancing for the above and other economy/progression related features
• Communication with and supervision of co-dev partners working on economy/progression related features
• Involved in community development (e.g. video interviews, dev blogs, State of the Game streams, Elite Task Force)
