"The Division" will be launched in less than one week, but Ubisoft already promotes its long awaited new game with "official gameplay launch trailer" and a new site. The game is set to go live on March 8 in the United States and on March 16 in the United Kingdom.
According to PC Gamer, "Tom Clancy's The Division" will have at its core not only shooting action. Ubisoft is emphasizing the role-playing element in game's experience.
The new trailer of then "The Division" game comes with a YouTube description that calls it "a ground-breaking RPG experience." The description goes on to claim that in fact this is the first time when the genre is brought into a modern military setting.
Ubisoft also released a new website to promote "The Division", according to Creative Review U.K. The site demonstrates how fast society could collapse.
As all the fans of "The Division" might know already, the game has a post-apocalyptic setting. The action is taking place after a virus has destroyed society by killing millions. BETC created the Collapse website that acts like a simulator. The site analyzes the event of a deadly pandemic by using real data in order to evaluate how quickly the society could descend into chaos.
For fans of "The Division" game franchise, the Collapse website could be pretty fun to play with. The site shows how a breakdown in society could happen in your own neighborhood by using personalized information. You can experiment with how quickly a virus would spread.
The Collapse website focuses on facts and stats in order to demonstrate the demise of your city, rather than showing bodies collapsing on the streets. The site features over 195.000 supermarkets, 165.500 banks, 105.000 pharmacies, 11.150 hospitals, 4.000 jails, 4.600 airports and 250 power stations around the world. Some of these objectives featured on the site are actually places users are likely to walk past every day.
The website also tells you at the end how long it would take the world to end in case that you had personally spread the virus. Depending on the city you are in, this scenario plays out in different ways.
