Tom Clancy's The Division continues to fight on across the streets of dystopian New York. After 18 months, Ubisoft is looking to inject the game with some new blood, so the publisher is offering the PC player base a free weekend.

The Division's official website offers up the details. The free weekend is set to begin this Thursday, September 14 from 1PM ET through Sunday, September 17 at 4PM ET. Given that the game is a hefty file package, players can begin preloading the game now. Those that like the game well enough will have the option to purchase the game for 60 percent off from the Ubisoft Store.

The Division first released in March 2016 to mixed reviews, but to a positive one from Shacknews. The game has grown substantially in the months since its original release, having most recently teased the free 1.8 update, which will include some new PvP modes, among other things. To get an idea of the full features coming in the update, check out the video below.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
