Ubisoft announces the release of
Tom Clancy's The Division, calling it an
open-world action/RPG this time, and saying it should now be available for
Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
This post on the game's official website covers what to expect from a day
one patch with a list of changes since the open beta. There's a post about the
release
on the UbiBlog
that features the previously released
launch trailer, and
the following details:
Have you been itching to take to the streets and
restore order to an epidemic-ravaged Manhattan? The Division is ready for you,
and you can now explore its online open world on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Casting
you as an elite sleeper Agent equipped with realistic weapons and futuristic
tactical gear, The Division invites you to match wits with deadly roving gangs
and other players while you fight to reclaim New York from chaos.
An action-RPG, The Division gives you not just the chance to freely roam
Manhattan with up to three other players, but to customize your Agent to suit
your play style and/or preferred role on the team. You’ll also encounter other
teams in the quarantined Dark Zone, where – amid battling other threats – you’ll
have the choice of working together or turning on other Agents for a chance at
snagging rare weapons and equipment for yourself.
The Division arrives alongside its companion book, The Division: New York
Collapse, which takes the form of a survival guide filled with scribbled notes
and removable clues left by a survivor as she investigated the mystery behind
the pandemic. To see excerpts from The Division: New York Collapse, take a look
