An announcement video from Ubisoft reveals that the long-awaited MMO shooter The Division will make its first appearance with live gameplay on the Xbox One at Gamescom.
The Division has received attention in recent months mostly due to unfavorable coverage. Comments from an anonymous developer suggested that Publisher Ubisoft is misrepresenting the game’s progress. The shooter reportedly requires significantly more work than Ubisoft would have the public believe. At that time, only the engine had supposedly been completed; actual development work on the game had not yet started. Consequently, the release date was pushed back to 2015.
Nevertheless, the announcement trailer from Ubisoft, which showcases their Gamescom lineup, now also features moving footage of Tom Clancy’s “The Division,” an MMO shooter that – like other works based on Tom Clancy’s creations – deals with a scenario in which special forces must stop a terrorist threat. In Cologne, live gameplay on the Xbox One is expected to be showcased for the first time.
