Tom Clancy's The Division release date reports continue to update fans of the game's current state, except for one thing- its actual release date.

Ubisoft has only announced a 2015 launch, but hasn't offered an exact release date until now. And because of the game's promise of a proper RPG packed with impressive visuals, fans begin to worry whether Ubisoft can really deliver.

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."

The highly anticipated game is far from 100% as rumors abound that developers have been facing production issues and recurring bugs and glitches.

Speaking to Gamespot, Ubisoft Massive managing director David Polfedt addressed the release date delay saying:

"One thing that I would really like for this industry to be able to talk about is the difficulty of predicting [release dates]. Because we often talk about dates, but the reality-and this is really coming from the trenches-is that if you have a project with say 400 people on it, you're working on a fairly new piece of hardware like the current-gen, and you're trying hard to be the best game ever, and you want to do 90+ [Metacritic], the reality is it's very hard to do that."

"It's like if I were to ask you to become a professional athlete. Yeah, you could become an athlete, but when will you be ready? It's a really hard question," he added.

As of the moment, New York City -specifically Manhattan and Brooklyn- has been named as the central location of the game. However, some are speculating that there might be other areas added as the release date nears.
