‘Tom Clancy’s The Division’ Release Date News: No Confirmed Launch, but Gameplay Suggests 'Endless' MMORPG
The popular Assassin's Creed game company Ubisoft has been keeping quiet for a while now about the 'Tom Clancy's The Division' release date. There hasn't been an ample amount of information for many excited gamers who are all waiting to get their own copies for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Although, rumors are bending towards the idea that we may see the game concretely at the upcoming E3 event.
When information is rounded up together, we get that 'The Division' takes place during a viral pandemic outbreak centered in New York during Christmas. Players will be part of a society called "The Division" whose aim is to survive the game and save New York City from a possible post-state of emergency havoc. If it is taken on a perspective, this is quite similar to another post-pandemic survival game "Last of Us."
The gameplay, however, may not take too much scripting as the game's lead narrative director John Bjorling mentioned in an interview with Structo Magazine that his gaming narrative style is largely inspired by Valve's 'Half-Life' and 'Portal' with the non-talking characters running the game while emphasis would be on player real-time choices.
In the light of that, gamers can get an idea that if real-time choices are involved, there should a vast environment to exhaust all kinds of gaming decisions. So when Ubisoft's David Polfeldt was interviewed by Youtube channel GamerHub TV, he had mentioned that the game as a massive RPG would be a "big open long journey for gamers to discover." Rumors would say that it may be a seemingly endless game.
An exciting part of the game, a PvP arena called 'Dark Zones', was just recently leaked where it is speculated that 50-100 players can contest each other in the zone. Players can team up in clans or go solo in this area. What makes players get a kind of pressure not to die is because acquired items may be lost upon death and can be looted by other players.
'Tom Clancy's The Division' have customized their maps in great detail. Players can be on a ground level in Manhattan to the deepest underground areas as seen on uploaded gameplays. The game Map can be dynamically changed. This would mean that constant updates may happen for map inclusions just like popular MMORPG. Gamers can cross their fingers that with the diversity of platforms and Internet connection, that the game's netcode can be forgiving.
