"Tom Clancy's The Division" release date updates are here!

Previous reports have been claiming that a March 2015 launch for the new game is underway. However, with new developments, it seems that the suggested date is a launch for the beta version of the game which will be out in Xbox One first.

The highly anticipated RPG release will mirror real life events in the US. Air Herald noted, "Many have criticized the modern consumerist lifestyle, so it is ironic that Tom Clancy's The Division explores the failure of the system on "Black Friday", the biggest shopping day of the year in the US, when all the major chains make giant price cuts and the public go crazy. As hordes flood New York City a deadly disease is able to spread rapidly and bring the city to a standstill."

"In the game players take control of a member of The Division, an elite military force waiting in the wings for such a disaster to take place. Their mission is to restore balance and order to New York, by any means necessary, answering only to the President."

According to recent reports, players of the much awaited release from Ubisoft need not worry about running out of new missions. In an interview with IGN, Ubisoft art director Rodrigo Cortes shares that the new game aims to keep players playing "for a long time."

"We don't want to do a story that ends and it's like you can take the disc and put it on the shelf," he said.

"We want to keep the players enjoying the game in many different ways so we would obviously offer different activities like PvP, PvE, and several progressions."

"We're hoping for endless gameplay. On top of that, we'll support the game heavily post-launch, though we won't go into details yet."

Other "Tom Clancy's The Division" release date updates from Game Spot claim that, "In addition to standard story progression (and new content after you finish), The Division features progression systems for gear, player statistics, and your base of operation, which can be continually upgraded, Cortes said. Ubisoft will also support The Division with new content following its release, adding more hours to the main experience."

"Tom Clancy's The Division" was originally slated for a 2014 release, but the dev team wouldn't want to risk the game's quality, prompting a later launch date.
