What’s next for The Division? There was no answer to this question at E3.
For some time now, agents have been waiting for an announcement about what the future of The Division will look like. What content will specifically come in Year 2? Will there be a Year 3 or is a “The Division 2” in the works? Does the Division franchise even have a future?
As Massive and Ubisoft have hardly spoken about the future of the shooter in recent weeks and months, many fans speculated that they would finally reveal something at E3 2017. A cool trailer to hype things up again, or at least some information about what to look forward to.
But nothing. Neither at the Ubisoft conference nor at the press conferences of Microsoft or Sony was “The Division” mentioned even once.
The Division was not mentioned at all
Many agents are now quite disappointed. In the reddit forum, the posts that express users’ disappointment and frustration are getting the most upvotes. One player writes that he didn’t expect much, but the fact that they didn’t even mention The Division is tough.
However, there was not only a lack of mention of The Division. Other “Tom Clancy” games like Rainbow Six Siege also had no presence at E3.
What’s going on with these Clancy games? Is there still work being done on them?
Ubisoft takes care of all Clancy games
In an interview on Youtube Live, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot was asked if there are plans for the future of the Clancy games.
He replied that he couldn’t say much about it. He assures, however, that Ubisoft is taking care of all Clancy games. It’s just that they currently have a lot of games on their list, but The Division and Rainbow Six are still being played. The player numbers are still very high. All Clancy games will continue.
In the end, Guillemot emphasizes that they will not forget Splinter Cell either.
There are already rough details about the near future of The Division. Update 1.7 is scheduled for summer, which will have a PTS phase in advance on all platforms. Global events and Commendations are coming. This week, Massive wants to provide more information about the Commendations.
How do you feel about The Division not being present at E3 2017?
