Ubisoft had said that the next expansion for The Division would release in June. Now, thanks to Amazon jumping the gun, we have a firmer date: June 28, with content available for pre-loading on June 25.

YouTube personality 'Arekkz' became aware of the leak when he spotted a release date for a digital code for Underground on Amazon UK and Amazon Germany. True to its name, Underground is set amid the tunnels and subways of New York. Players will team up with other Agents to chase enemies through the labyrinthine environment.

Bearing in mind that Microsoft locked down timed exclusivity for The Division's content, PS4 and PC players won't get to play Underground—or Survival, the next planned expansion—until late in July. That's assuming the leak pans out, of course; as of right now, it's still a rumor.

In other Division news, word came late last week that Ubisoft's game will be adapted into a film starring Jake Gyllenhaal, who will also help guide the project as a producer.
