“Tom Clancy’s The Division,” the upcoming open-world third person shooter role playing game from Ubisoft is certain to be released to Xbox One, the PlayStation 4, and the PC this year.
Amid rumors that there will be a delay in the release of the video game notwithstanding that Ubisoft would also be releasing the “Rainbow Six: Siege” this year and that it might be pushed to 2016, the Canadian-based game developer confirmed that “Tom Clancy’s The Division” would be released in 2015, reports Gamepur.
Aside from being an action-packed role playing video game, “Tom Clancy’s The Division” shall also have survival elements developed by Ubisoft Massive, Ubisoft Reflections and Ubisoft Red Storm, which are all under the Tom Clancy video game brand.
Ubisoft announced and launched the game at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2013 at the Los Angeles Convention Center on June 11-13, 2013, where the developer also showed a seven-minute gameplay demo that got fans excited over the video game.
Building fans’ excitement
In addition to confirming that “Tom Clancy’s The Division” will be coming in 2016, Ubisoft Canada also worked on sprucing up fan excitement in its Facebook page by asking which of the two video games are they excited about.
While “Rainbow Six: Siege” has enough fan base already, it turns out that based on gamer comments and reaction, “Tom Clancy’s The Division” is what’s giving them more excitement, likely thinking that Ubisoft is serving them a new dish.
One fan said that he’s going for “Tom Clancy’s The Division” but he will still get “Rainbow Siege: Six” because he really loves playing third person shooter games. The gamer also said that Ubisoft somehow took the mettle out of “Rainbow Six: Siege” because the developer removed its cover system and that the game does not have a true campaign mode like “Tom Clancy’s The Division.”
Gameplay plot
“Tom Clancy’s The Division” was derived from real-world events that show how the US has become vulnerable to post-apocalyptic terror because society has become more fragile and complex.
The premise of the game is based on the spread of a disease in the US which led to the collapse of the government in five days resulting to chaos. It was later discovered that the germs in the bank notes or dollar bills is what’s spreading the disease all over the country.
Thus, a classified unit of self-supported tactical agents, where the player will be part of, under the Strategic Homeland Division is tasked to do whatever is necessary to combat the threat and prevent the further fall of society.
The multiplayer mode shall allow players to put the pieces back together again and help the city (New York City) to stand on its feet again. Throughout the game, the agents or players will be caught in the middle of conspiracies that will force them to battle the threats of the virus as well as those who unleashed it.
