It’s been a long, winding road forThe Division 2since it first launched in 2019, with the game going through many of the growing pains that other live service titles do. Ultimately, fans have received many of the changes they requested, and while there are some lingering issues, Ubisoft Massive is introducing someResident Evilcrossover contentas a nice distraction for players, which is available starting today.
The event adds a new uniform toThe Division 2modeled afterLeon Kennedy’s RPD outfit fromResident Evil 2.Players don’t need to do anything special to unlock the clothing options, as they’re granted as a login bonus to anyone that jumps in between now and February 15. The outfit consists of three pieces, one for the chest, another for the legs, and some boots. The set is instantly recognizable but blends well withThe Division 2’spost-collapse aesthetic.

On top of the Leon Kennedy outfit, several others have been added to the game. Players can unlock the Umbrella Corporation Operative uniform, Chris Redfield S.T.A.R.S. uniform, Jill Valentine S.T.A.R.S. uniform, and Rebecca Chambers S.T.A.R.S. uniform through caches earned while playing, or by spending premium currency, during the event. TheResident Evilevent also includes weapon skins and a few other rewards for players to earn.
During the event, players are able to complete daily projects that will net some of the cosmetic rewards. Each daily project completed will earn players a backpack trophy and an arm patch. It’s important to note that the event is only live until February 15, so players will want to earn as many rewards as possible while they still can. However, there is an “event closing” phase that will last from February 16 to February 22, during which time players are able to spend any leftover rewards they have in their inventory.
Announced during theResident Evil Villagereveal stream, the limited-time event is in celebration ofResident Evil’s25th anniversary.The Division 2regularly runs limited-time events, but theResident Evilanniversary celebration is something new for the franchise. It’s unclear if this will mark a new era of crossover events for the game or if it’s simply a one-off for all of those involved.
Regardless, the event is a good way to generateexcitement forResident Evil Villagewhile drawing players back intoThe Division 2.Plus, the update included a few next-gen enhancements forThe Division 2,so it’s all-around a great time for new and returning players to see what they’ve been missing out on recently.
The Division 2is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. PS5 and Xbox Series X enhancements are enabled through backward compatibility.
