Good news: The Division, Ubisoft’s tactical Tom Clancy game, now has a release date: March 8, 2016. Better yet, Ubisoft debuted 5 minutes of new footage that give us a sense of just how savage playing with other Division players might be.
Here we watch a squad go into something called a Dark Zone. They encounter two different teams, both of which are not friendly. There is a moment of tension, as all the players involved have to decide how to move forward. Do they team up? Do they turn on each other? Overall, it reminds me a hell of a lot like the dog-eat-dog world of DayZ, especially when the demo gets to the end and a player on the squad decides to turn on his teammates. Daaaamn.
That said, we’ve heard some troubling stuff about the game’s development...
Just worth keeping in mind.
