lol Ubisoft exec still learning how to not fuck up a company:

"Let’s make an extraction shooter for 2026!"

I mean... The Division was literally the first ever extraction shooter, and the og survivor dlc was peak extraction gameplay.

In the dark zone, but the open world is not a time limited arena death match, you have tons of story missions, you can just free roam in the streets of NY or DC and never have to extract anything.

Yes, but the Dark Zone was still a core part of the endgame. It was not optional, at one point or another you'd have to go in. And this, for Division 2, being a dlc, just adds to my original point. It's not like they're uprooting their traditions, they just finally realized that from the beginning they had the best extraction shooter around.
