Ubisoft maakt details patch 1.3 voor The Division bekend

Zoals je inmiddels wellicht wel weet is The Underground voor The Division verschenen, althans voor spelers op de Xbox One en PC. Op de PlayStation 4 moeten we nog even wachten, namelijk tot begin augustus alvorens we aan de slag mogen met deze uitbreiding.

Ubisoft heeft voor de Xbox One en PC inmiddels update 1.3 uitgerold en de bedoeling is dat deze update ook naar de PlayStation 4 komt. Wanneer de update precies verschijnt is nog niet bekend, maar de volledige changelog is logischerwijs inmiddels wel al bekend en die is simpelweg enorm te noemen.
