    Next expansion and Year 2 pass

    Maybe i have missed this somewhere but if i decide to buy the The Division 2: Warlords of New York expansion does this contain a year 2 pass?
    Or the year 2 pass is trashed and no longer needed?
    Or do i have to buy it additionally if i want early access?

    The WoNY DLC only includes the expansion.

    Because there will be no year 2 equivalent for the Y1P. The whole idea of the Y1P was (basically) to give an early access to all its holders concerning the new episodes – which where free content for everyone (plus some minor features which we do not need to mention). In year 2 there will be no free DLCs anymore, just paid ones like WoNY.

    What will still be free – just to make things clear – for everyone are the Title Updates including fixes and balancing changes etc.

    With the expansion come "seasons".

    Seasons will replace the Year Pass as they will have a very similar mechanic that will give more rewards to those who pay.
    We still don't know how much they will cost or how many seasons a "pass" will cover.

    Indeed! The seasons basically are a Battle Pass. You can unlock several rewards while progressing throughout a season. For "free" (well, it's not really free of charge as you have to buy the DLC in the first place) – but you can also buy kind of a Premium Season/Battle Pass which unlocks additional rewards while progressing.

    Theoretically these season passes should not give access to any exclusive gear or aestehtic item, they should be boxes that contain random items or materials that can be obtained simply playing the game.

    From what I figured out, Ubi want to change system. Episodes (seasons now) will be free for all. But with them we will get something like battle pass in R6 Siege. Some useful stuff and cosmetics, I think. Nothing that will keep you from real content.

    Hello!

    As Noxious81 has mentioned, Warlords of New York only includes the expansion.

    We recently published an article with more detailed info on how Seasons are going to work

    Massive, for how long expansion "Warlords of New York" is meant to be relevant, player level cap and gear-score wise?
    How much time we have till new expansion comes and increases level cap and GS again ?
    Whole 2nd year? 6 months? Less than 6 months?

    So basically a season will last 3 months, it's aimed at PVP (manhunt) and after every season you'll have to buy a new season pass if you want additional gear (which you also can get if you didn't buy the pass)

    Seasons bring further progression opportunities and playstyles. Starting one week after the release of Warlords of New York and lasting 3 months, Seasons revolve around the manhunt, a multi-step journey hunting down Rogue agents; players can also look forward to reimagined Global Events, new gear, Leagues and apparel – all with a unique thematic that not only applies to loot but also encounter design.
    Anyone who owns Warlords of New York will have access to all Seasonal content for free. Those who wish to gain additional rewards when gaining Season Levels can purchase a Season Pass unlocking an additional track of gear from that Seasons’ loot table, seasonal apparel, apparel keys, crafting materials and more. To keep the playing field fair, we made sure all gameplay affecting rewards on the additional reward track can be attained through normal playing. Gear available in the Premium track will be non-curated random rolls.

    Although they use the term "manhunt" which made me think of PvP at first as well, I am not quite sure whether this is not a PvE event, as we are hunting Rogue agents throughout the whole DLC. Also, the way the description reads, it feels more like PvE content than PvP content. E.g. how could you possibly have a "multi-step journey hunting down Rogue agents" in the DZ? There is not multi-step magic, manhunts in the DZ are pretty much straight forward.
