Tom Clancy's The Division release date has been revealed along with some new details about the much anticipated shooter from Ubisoft.
In a recent interview with Metro, a producer from Ubisoft discussed The Division release date and how Ubisoft is working hard to create a memorable experience for players.
"I think making sure you focus on the content as well as just how it looks is really, really important," the producer said. "So, I mean ... I know one of the big taglines for us is it's a third-person shooter, but we actually think of it as a RPG."
"Everything in the game is progression-based, so your experience is based around the set-up of your agent and it will be different to everyone else's experience. So it's not a linear shooter and it's not even an open world game where you just pick up different missions as you go through them one at a time.
"We're a multiplayer game, so people can play together and there's synergy between them as well. So of course we're going to have the fears that it looks 'too good,' but this is actually the minimum level of detail that we wanted in order to create the kind of game we wanted to make. The graphics enable the gameplay; it's not a tech demo that we just added a shooter over the top of.
"We are going for a different feel in the genre right now because we're so heavily... we're a cover-focused combat game that relies a lot on the management of your skills, the gadgets, the Clancy tech that we have in the game."
Producer from Ubisoft also describes the Division's setting as "realistic but a very extreme scenario. It lives in its own world. Especially with the setting being mid-crisis, and something that I think everyone in Western civilization highly fears - like what if your cellphone suddenly doesn't work? And the Internet suddenly stops working. What do you do? Because I couldn't cope, I dunno about you. I'm one of the first dead in this scenario."
In a report by Cyberland, Ubisoft has set the Division Release date on May 2015 as allegedly revealed on Gamescom 2014!
