The Division 2 will be set in Washington, D.C.

The Divison 2 will be set in Washington, D.C., according to a poster hanging in the Los Angeles Convention Center, where E3 is taking place.

The three agents are carrying a couple of weapons that weren't in The Division—a crossbow and what looks like a chunky grenade launcher that holds its grenades in a revolving cylinder.

Online multiplayer shooter The Division was set in New York City, which made for a cluttered, often claustrophobic environment with fairly narrow streets and tall buildings. Washington, D.C. is a less dense city, which should provide a more open setting.

We'll no doubt find out more about The Division 2 when Ubisoft holds its E3 press conference on Monday at 11am PT.

The Division 2 is due to release at some point before April next year. Here's what we want to see from the sequel.
