Prologue: The Outbreak

The Division Resurgence plunges players into the chaotic early days of the Green Poison outbreak in Manhattan. As a first-wave Division agent, you'll work alongside fellow agent Sarah Kelly to escort community leaders to safety amidst escalating anarchy. This prologue sets the stage for the game's narrative, introducing key plot points and the desperate struggle for survival in a city on the brink.

The story begins with the agent being activated following the Green Poison's release. Your initial mission involves securing community leaders, but this quickly escalates as Joint Task Force equipment is stolen by assailants attacking Trinity Hospital. The plot thickens as you navigate the New York Stock Exchange, rescue hostages from gang members led by Jax, and ultimately confront him on a ferry, though you are forced to escape as he detonates explosives.

Waking up at the Base of Operations in Midtown, you discover that many first-wave agents are gone, leaving a small group of survivors. While a second wave has addressed some threats, your role as a Division agent is far from over. The prologue establishes the dire situation and your crucial role in restoring order.
