Ubisoft announces plans for open beta testing for Tom Clancy's The Division
that will run from February 19th through the 21st on Windows, PlayStation 4, and
Xbox One. They say preloads of the beta client will commence on the 16th, and
that Xbox One players will actually get additional access 24 hours before everyone else.
The news comes with a new
"enemy factions" trailer, and details on what additions have been made since
closed beta testing concluded. Here's a press release on the topic:
Today, Ubisoft® announced an Open Beta for Tom Clancy’s the Division
which will take place February 19-21 on Xbox One, PlayStation®4 computer
entertainment system and Windows PC and everyone can pre-load the content
starting February 16. Xbox One players will also have exclusive 24-hour early
access beginning on February 18.
With the highly anticipated release of Tom Clancy’s The Division just weeks
away, and following the recent Closed Beta, the Open Beta is an invitation for
all players to get a taste of the game’s mid-crisis New York ahead of its
official launch on March 8. This Beta will test the game systems further, and
provide player feedback that will benefit the game experience at launch.
In addition to the content that was featured in the Closed Beta, the Open Beta
will include an all new story mission for players to explore in their pursuit to
save the city. Furthermore, everyone who participates in this latest testing
phase will receive a special in-game reward which will unlock for players when
the full game is released.
Tom Clancy’s The Division takes place weeks after a devastating pandemic sweeps
through New York City on Black Friday. One by one, basic services fail and in
only days, without food or water, society collapses into chaos. The Division, an
autonomous unit of tactical agents leading seemingly ordinary lives among us, is
activated to save society. Team up with other players to investigate the source
of the virus, protect civilians from dangerous factions, and reclaim the city
from the overwhelming turmoil. To discover more about the factions in Tom
