Ubisoft may have kept a lot of details on Tom Clancy's The Division to make sure that they still have some element of surprise when the RPG releases March next year. However, executive producer Fredrik Rundqvist has also dished some of the core gameplay details to keep the hype vortex going among fans who are dying to experience the thrill in this hi-packed action open world third person shooter.
Gameaficionados who are closely following released information surrounding the imminent release of Tom Clancy's The Division game must have already grasped the actual story and what took place prior to the events that fans will have to witness in the game. There's the Dark Winter, Directive 51, and a deadly virus that was laced onto dollar bills and broke out on Black Friday resulting to killing almost everyone, according to IGN.
Despite that the virus included in the gameplay of The Division is born out of imagination and hypothetical, Examiner reports that it is inspired by a virus from real-life events known to a lot of people.
It is a product of Ubisoft Massive's efforts to do an extensive research about the types of diseases related to the virus. Producer Fredrik Rundqvist has detailed the work involved to make the said virus as realistic as possible.
"We did a lot of research to try to understand what could happen with a pandemic, the different viruses and which ones were easier to manipulate. The story is based on the small pox virus. As you might know, there is a strain here in the U.S. and the Russians have another.
"What they have been doing is weaponizing the virus since the 60s, apparently they have tons of it. The idea for the game is this lone wolf terrorist is manipulating the existing strain. The U.S. currently holds 300 million doses of vaccines specifically against smallpox, but it doesn't work for this strain," Rundqvist stated.
Based on what is demoed in various gameplay footages, marketing material and trailers for this Tom Clancy game, the spread of virus has caused catastrophe and put the entire New York City on the verge of extinction. This is where gamers come in to play the role of The Division agents to "save what remains", as how Ubisoft likes to put it.
When asked as to whether The Division marks the end of th world, Rundqvist quipped, "It might be. At the end of the game, you'll see what happens (laughs)".
In earlier reports, The Dark Zone has already been outed as one major feature following its formal debut at E3 2015 that will host the game's competitive PvP and PvE action. The executive producer also tackled how the players will start when they set to go inside the world of the game.
"With the Dark Zone, this is an area that the National Guard tried to wall off the contagion early on in the crisis. They had to abandon it, everything spiraled out of control, so when you start the game, you are pushed to the rim of the game world. The Division agents are basically sent in to help the National Guard and take back NYC," Rundqvist revealed.
It will be several months of waiting before players and pundits alike will be able to judge how this AAA title will pan out once it releases in its final form early next year. Both Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment have announced that Tom Clancy's The Division will hit PS4, Xbox One and PC on March 8, 2016 after a series of delays.
