Last Stand seems to be a giant step forward for The Division, adding much needed elements to the sinister Dark Zone area of New York. There will be elite agents guarding the central control point, as well as the usual NPC’s that spawn throughout the map. Previously, death in the Dark Zone would mean losing some of your assets. With Last Stand that is no longer a worry, as the teams of eight will be pushed into dramatic PvP encounters as a rule, across the four maps of the Dark Zone in what Ubisoft call “some of the best combat arenas in the game.”

Additional tweaks include being automatically queued for your next match without having to visit the main menu, matchmaking to take into account your recent performance as well as your current Gear Score, and Tactical Boost Stations which activate at key milestones during a match and allow you to gain an edge over your opponent.

All in all, Expansion III: Last Stand is shaping up to be a welcome addition to The Division. The various ways in which you can explore and compete throughout the foreboding Dark Zone will test players and their abilities like never before. It will be part of the Season Pass for the game, or can be purchased separately at a date that is yet to be revealed.
