Det var meningen at Massive skulle have stoppet The Division 2-støtten i 2020

Massive Entertainment har ret travlt for tiden. De er ved at lægge sidste hånd på Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, og efter det venter et Star Wars-spil. Men de skal altså også vedligeholde The Division 2, og det forventede de altså ikke stadig ville stå på i 2023.

I et interview med MP1St fortæller instruktør Yannick Banchereau, at de faktisk havde planlagt at stoppe støtten til spillet i 2020, men at grundet massiv popularitet så blev de nødt til at fortsætte:

"It's crazy when you think about it, huh? That's the beauty of it. It's been quite a real rollercoaster because, yes, the plan was - after Update 12, at the end of 2020 - the plan was to stop supporting the game. We started working on the Star Wars game, we have the Avatar game. Everybody's very busy at Massive and the idea was that we just need the people on those projects."

Det var særligt Warlords of New York-udvidelsen der satte gang i spillet igen, og det placerede studiet i en kattepine:

"It wasn't because The Division 2 was bad, just [that] we need the people on the other projects. What happened is the game remained successful, and probably more successful than we had anticipated after the release of Warlords of New York, and the different seasons. So that allowed us to kind of resume the conversation internally of, 'maybe we should keep going.'"
