The Division 2: Warlords of New York Reviews
Warlords of New York is a solid campaign, one that brings a four-year story arch to its conclusion, allowing fans to see what awaits them once Keener is down and out, giving us a glimpse of what the future is and what it seems to be. For now, however, there's a lot to take in and let settle after the conclusion to the expansion which will leave players craving more at the end of the day.
Warlords Of New York has once again raised the standard of the exciting and enticing gameplay of Division series and created several breathtaking and tactical hours of gameplay. The design of the new stages is superb. This is in addition to the addition of several new layers to the previously unreleased Endgame content of The Division 2, which affects almost every aspect of the game due to the increase in level cap, new catches, new campaigns and stages, and more. However, the biggest disadvantage of this package is the way it has been released; it's definitely worth $30 because of the new Endgame map and content, but the policy of buying a DLC per account is not that interesting. This is what divides the players on the game map and, more than anything annoys the older players.

The Division 2: Warlords of New York changes nothing on the concept, that was proudly presented us by the main game. Gear is better, system and equipment modifications are slightly less confusing, there is more abilities and gunfights are still fun. But overall DLC brings just rarely something really „new“. Gameplay is still the same. Maybe slightly richer. And so, everyhing stays on the story and the structure of campaign. And that is nothing else but elimination of four, five targets, abou who you know barely something. Maybe that they are the ones, who are shooting at you, so that makes them the bad guys, right? Warlords of New York is a nostalgic package for true lovers of The Division series, who know the game from top to bottom. DLC won't change your opinion on the game. It just gives you more of everything it is.

The expansion isn’t the best piece of content but the overall changes that came with the launch of The Division 2: Warlords of New York expansion make it a great addition to keep avid players geared up and ready for the coming content planned for the game in 2020.
There are no two ways about getting the expansion if you are already a fan of the game. It adds so much to the vanilla experience that going back to an expansion-less version seems like a foreign idea. While many of these changes will undoubtedly filter their way down to those of you who are holding out on the expansion, the value is there in both the new setting, the expansive new story, and the first free seasonal pass and level 30 boost.
Warlords of New York takes ideas from games like Far Cry 5 or Ghost Recon: Wildlands, and creates a fun playground to take alone or with friends. Unfortunately, the game keeps on failing to develop interesting and engaging characters.

While the story has lost direction, Warlords of New York ushers in much needed content and quality of life overhauls to The Division 2
While Warlords of New York brings new content for players to enjoy, this is not the most original piece of content that Massive delivered. The main quest of freeing Manhattan is the well-known Ubisoft formula repeated. The four warlords in contrast are fun mini bosses to fight against, each introducing a small but fun gimmick. The main antagonist, Aaron Keener, on the other end falls completely flat. This first paid expansion for The Division 2 is a safe rollercoaster ride for players, but that's all.
