The publisher isn't giving much away regarding the new content, but states they'll be introducing new end-game activities. Expect more details about the "big upcoming update" in the next few days.

You can read the full patch notes here - as you may expect, there are a host of bug fixes and some balancing tweaks to both weapons and skills, which will be applied during server maintenance today.

One of the issues fixed may be of particular interest to some who had found a quick and easy way to get their hands on new gear. According to the patch notes: "Named NPCs will no longer respawn after being killed in the Open World. This will prevent situations where players were able to kill a same named NPC over and over again". The unfortunate NPC in question is a character named Bullet King, who players were farming for high end equipment.

People have been mourning the loss of ol' BK over on the game's official subreddit; a few even have ideas on how he could become immortalised, in a similar way to Destiny's loot cave.

What do think about the new update? Looking forward to some new end-game content? Let us know on the forum. 

If you've not jumped into The Division yet, now would be a good time to see what James thought of it in our review.
