With Ubisoft's big reveal of The Division 2 during E3 last week, we figured we'd hop back into the original Division to see how the game has progressed and improved over the past couple years. Getting back into something you haven't played in a long time is just like riding a bike, right?
Ubisoft's cover/loot/toboggan shooter, The Division, hasn't exactly been lighting the world on fire since its initial release in 2016. Nevertheless, a core contingent of fans has been sticking with the game through thick and thin. Why, you might ask, do said players seem impervious the allure of newer releases? Well, you'll get a chance to see for yourself this weekend on PC, PlayStation 4, or Xbox One.
The days of a demo on every game seems to be a thing of the past. Instead, we are invited to play free weekends in the hopes that our interest is peaked enough to buy said game. This upcoming weekend it is the turn of Tom Clancy's The Division across PC, PS4 and One.
Version 1.6 has finally dropped for Tom Clancy's The Division. The mega patch introduces a ton of fixes and updates which was previously highlighted here. One update not previously known for PS4 Pro owners is 4K resolution support. Alongside the fixes come the new Last Stand mode which will add a new set of challenge for players.
Tom Clancy's The Division continues to be supported by Ubisoft with consistent patches, updates, and content since it launched almost exactly a year ago. The latest update is dubbed 1.6 and featured some balancing tweaks and changes, but also some new content and one major change.
Just in time for the latest patch that adds DirectX12, you can check out Tom Clancy's The Division for free on the PC starting now and running until 1:00 pm Eastern on Sunday, December 18. If you dig it and decide to buy the full thing, then it's also on sale for 50% off during that time and, best of all, your character progress will carry over into the full version.
E3 2016 is in full force, and with it comes all kinds of co-op gaming announcements. During the first conference of the day, Microsoft briefly showed off a glimpse of The Division's "Underground" DLC, which will be available for Xbox One on June 28th. Due to Ubisoft's exclusivity deal, the DLC won't hit for PlayStation 4 and PC users until a solid month later.
The Humble Bundle is the type of friend that keeps on giving. Not only do you get games for as little (or as much) as you want to pay, but you also get to give to charity. As the deals are time limited, sometimes you miss out. Therefore, the likes of Ubisoft come back and offer you an encore; in this case games including Rayman Origins, Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Far Cry 3.
Last week brought the first big free update to Tom Clancy's The Division, though it was not without its problems. During a Twitch stream yesterday, the developers stated that they are aware of the issues players are facing and are working on ways to make amends.
My one hope for Tom Clancy's The Division was that its developers would learn from Bungie and the struggles they faced during the first year of Destiny. The first big update for the title, which introduced the Incursion event and a loot trading system along with a handful of other fixes and tweaks, arrived on Tuesday and initial reports are... well, it's a bit of a mess.
Following a red-hot opening month for Tom Clancy's The Division, the folks over at Ubisoft have buckled down and sought out areas where their four player co-op game is in need of change. Just a few days ago, they revealed "Incursions", the first of two free upcoming expansion packs, and detailed just what it will be adding content-wise.
While Tom Clancy's The Division has been out for a couple weeks now, there are still a few lingering questions out there about co-op and the like. Fortunately, we've got some answers.
