The Division's third and hopefully not the last DLC "The Last Stand" have been officially announced. The new DLC will bring session-based PvP (player versus player) gameplay, but with a mixed PvE (player versus environment) feature.

In a report by Forbes, Massive hosted a livestream session with Red Storm in order to lay out what is exactly coming in the third DLC. The stream mainly focused on both the expansion of the Dark Zone (DZ) and the central activity in the "Last Stand" DLC.

With the "Last Stand" DLC 1.6 patch, the game is now getting "Dark Zone North" a new three-piece section of the map that is now doubled in size. Red Storm confirms that between rooftops, building interiors and underground areas, the Dark Zone is now almost twice as huge as it was previously.  The livestream also showed areas with peaks of dead bodies and more new graffiti.

GameSpot also reports that Ubisoft's update 1.6 will not be on time limit exclusive on the Xbox One and PC like the "Underground" and "Survival" DLC were. There are however, more details to come for the update 1.6 in the coming days so stay tuned.
