"Tom Clancy's The Division," or simply "The Division," will be releasing an expansion update which will be called "The Division: Underground" downloadable content (DLC). Some information uncovered by way of datamining about the "Underground" DLC somehow found its way to the web. Meanwhile, video game developer Massive Entertainment and publisher Ubisoft released an official statement about improving gaming experience in response to cheats and cheat engines employed by some players.

The gaming blogsite called Division Field Guide wrote about contents that have yet to be integrated into the DLC expansion of the online-only open world shooter game. These are said to include Dragon's Nest Incursion, Dark Zone 07, 08, 09, 10 and 11, a level 30-30 area PvE event in the Dark Zone and additional PvE areas. Each of the Dark Zones is supposedly allotted a codename taken after the names of Massive's employees like DZ-08 Hamish.

Although these are but speculations, there are significant chances that some of these will indeed be implemented on the "Underground" DLC updates of "The Division." After all, it was reported that Ubisoft Massive was planning on giving a boost to the PvE area as part of the developer's intentions of modification of the open world area of the video game.

Meanwhile, Ubisoft recently addressed concerns regarding cheating in the game. In its statement, the company expressed how cheating is a "source of frustration" for the gaming community as some players resort to using third-party software to gain an unfair edge over other gamers. To curtail this dishonest practice, the developers are now more consistent in server checking through which any player's attempt at changing his client data will be able to be detected. They will also remain on guard should new cheat tools be developed in the future given that this technology evolves and can catch up with the gaming updates.

Apart from constant system checks, Ubisoft will now be imposing sanctions upon detection of cheating and it will be as strict as permanent bans even only on the first offense of employing a cheat engine.

The official release date of "The Division: Underground" DLC expansion has yet to be announced, although reports have been making rounds that it will be on June 28. The leak made way to the web supposedly from the U.K. and Germany websites of the retailer Amazon, which listed the alleged release date and price of the game's expansion for a short period of time before the site took down the information.
