Ubisoft confirmed at this years E3 that their upcoming open world third-person shooter role-playing video game, "Tom Clancy's: The Division," will be available on March 8, 2016 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Windows PC. Exclusive Tom Clancy's: The Division beta launching in December.

The Division takes place in New York 3 weeks after a lethal virus, released on Black Friday, swept through the city. One by one, basic services have failed. Society has collapsed into chaos. The President invokes Presidential Directive 51, and The Division, a top-secret unit of self-supporting tactical agents, is activated. Leading seemingly ordinary lives among us, Division agents are trained to operate independently of command in this type of emergency situation. When the lights go out, their mission begins.

In a Tom Clancy universe dedicated to realism, explore the once-familiar streets and landmarks of the Big Apple, now decimated by looting and overrun by clans that will do anything to survive. From Central Park to the subway to the Statue of Liberty, nowhere is safe. Discover a persistent, online, open-world New York where exploration, combat, and RPG player-progression are essential.

Xbox One owners will be the first to play The Division, with a new beta coming to Xbox One in December. The beta will also be available for PlayStation 4 and PC early 2016.
