When looking at the first information, images, and videos about the next-gen MMO Shooter Tom Clancy’s: The Division, it almost seems certain that we will have a proper post-apocalyptic blockbuster on our hands. Now, rumors are intensifying that we probably won’t get to experience the apocalypse in the contaminated New York this year.
The press has listed The Division almost without exception in the lists of the most anticipated MMOs of 2014, and not without reason: The publisher UbiSoft has set the release date for the end of 2014. Apparently, the developers at Massive Entertainment see it differently. An employee, of course anonymously, is said to have commented on this ‘nonsense’. Of course, it could have just been anyone, but why has there been no denial from Ubisoft so far?
The engine for the game works; it is not finished yet, but it runs well. The development of the actual game has just begun (…). The fact that Ubisoft is publicly aiming for a release in 2014 is honestly ridiculous. We will never be able to release The Division this year. It is a big project and we have a long way to go.
Alleged anonymous employee of the developer.
Whether at the end of 2014 or sometime in 2015, we are certainly curious about how it will continue and are currently just enjoying a video with the first gameplay scenes:
