Ubisoft has released a new gameplay trailer for its upcoming third-person shooter-MMO hybrid, Tom Clancy’s The Division.
The trailer includes around three minute worth of gameplay footage. Check it out below.
Tom Clancy’s The Division is scheduled to ship on current-generation consoles and PC on March 8, 2016. The game is a collaborative effort between Ubisoft’s Massive, Reflections, and Annecy studios alongside Red Storm Entertainment, and was originally announced at E3 2013. The Division takes place in New York City in the midst of a mysterious pandemic, which cripples the infrastructure of the United States in five days. Players control a member of the hastily-assembled Strategic Homeland Division (SHD), an organisation that works under the direct orders of the President to regain control and prevent the collapse of civilisation by whatever means necessary.
The Division takes place from a third-person perspective, and places a large emphasis on customisation, with gamers able to tweak their character and backpack, as well as increase their weapons, gear and skills by levelling up. One of the main features of the game is the dynamic weather system, which can work to the advantage of the player during combat situations. Ubisoft has confirmed that The Division can be played solo if you wish, and will offer a seamless gameplay experience. Dynamic weather effects will also be employed in-game that will directly have an impact on the war battles unfold.
Ubisoft confirmed that the game’s closed beta on PS4 will take place early this year, with the latest reports suggesting a late January launch for the beta. Xbox One owners were given access to an Alpha test in mid-December.
