The Division 2: näin toimivat Dark Zonet

Gamereactor pääsi kokeilemaan The Division 2:n erilaisia Dark Zone -alueita, ja sen lisäksi haastattelemaan pelin luovaa ohjaajaa. Nopeasti selvisi se, että jatko-osan Dark Zone -pelaaminen eroaa merkittävästi alkuperäisestä.

Dark Zone alueita on kaikkiaan kolme erillistä, joissa toki pelataan eri tavoilla. Dark Zone -alueet on "normalisoitu", eli kaikkien pelaajien varusteiden taso on sama. Vastaavasti sitten mukana on Occupied Dark Zone, joilla tätä normalisointia ei ole tehty.

"At launch, we're going to have three separate Dark Zones. Located on the east side of the map, south and on the west side of the map. Now that is an advantage for us because it allows us to experiment with different moods, different stories and different gameplaystyles. Because Dark Zone East, which is located around Union Square, is all about long sight-lines - big open spaces - you have to play a certain way for that. Dark Zone South - interiors, big governmental buildings. Interior gameplay, it's going to be cool. Dark Zone West, around Georgetown. The sort of luxury, wealthy area of Washington DC. That's all small European houses, small alleys, more confined constricted spaces. So each one of those gives players an opportunity to play slightly differently."
