Ubisoft acknowledged unfortunate story leak of ‘Division 2’ from PTS audio files leftover

Ubisoft has recently acknowledged a major Division 2 story leak due to some audio files leftover on the Public Test Server (PTS) which hint at the reappearance of old The Division characters and more.

Massive Entertainment’s Chris Glanser took to Reddit to comment on recent leaks for Tom Clancy’s The Division 2. The Public Test Servers for the game’s next update contained some audio files that were not intended to be released, and dataminers have been able to uncover a number of unannounced story details, as a result.

“When we do Public Test Servers, the build used for these tests often times contain elements that are not part of the next Title Update. Unfortunately, this time it included a lot more than we would have liked and we understand that the spoilers to the narrative have an impact on players who were looking forward to learning about the lore while playing. While nothing is finalised in terms of upcoming content, please stay mindful of these players and keep using spoiler tags to discuss these topics. We also wanted to confirm that we are indeed working on more content outside of the upcoming Seasons and that one of the current ideas is to add a PVE mode that is meant to scratch the replayability itch. This is still in the early stages of development and is not set for release soon. In addition, while we understand the comparisons that are being made to Underground, we want to clarify that we don’t intent to simply copy game modes from the first game, and that this new mode will not be Underground 2.0 and will have a unique and new take on the topic,”Glanser added.

The subject of spoilers has been a bit of a hot topic in the video game industry over the last few weeks. Several plot details for The Last of Us Part II leaked online, causing significant frustration for those looking forward to the game. Sony and Naughty Dog have mostly avoided discussing those spoilers, so many Reddit users seemed to find Ubisoft’s openness about the topic to be refreshing.
