As you may have recently seen, The Division 2 and Resident Evil crossover event was announced with lots of goodies for players to get stuck into. Some of these treats included fancy skins, cosmetic items, and a stack of special weapons. The crossover has Racoon City sending “their best and brightest to answer the call
The Division
In recent years, game companies have been trying their best to implement the best accessibility practices for video games. One studio that always impresses me is Ubisoft, which seems to strive to improve accessibility features in its games, title-after-title. As part of Global Accessibility Awareness Day 2020, I had the opportunity to jump into a
In 2016, Tom Clancy’s: The Division had players running through a haunting recreation of a pandemic ridden New York City. Fast forward to March 2020, and the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a very real pandemic that is spreading throughout the US and creating a hot bed of sickness in New York City. The situation has
Just announced, the upcoming Division 2 expansion, Warlords of New York, will bring agents back to the city where it all began. While some games re-imagine real-life areas, Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment’s new map is a 1:1 representation of Lower Manhattan. While talking to Ubisoft Leamington and Reflections Producer Nick Scurr, I asked if Warlords
When The Division 2 launched last year, I did really enjoy it. I had some qualms with the third-person shooter, but it was such a complete experience in a landscape filled with empty live games. With some rather substantial post-release content scheduled for the low price of free (unless you paid to get it early),
Just when its first wave of content comes to a close, Ubisoft announces The Division 2 expansion Warlords of New York will release next month. The new Division 2 expansion will add a slew of content to an already packed game. While Division agents were summoned to Washington, D.C., Aaron Keener and his posse of
When it comes to publisher Ubisoft, the French-based company has seen high levels of success across several of its franchises by establishing what has colloquially been known as “the Ubisoft formula.” This, of course, is in reference to the types of games that Ubisoft has released in the last decade that largely revolve around creating
Epic Games Store has certainly ruffled feathers in the dedicated PC gaming community. Given they are a newcomer to the market, their business decisions are under continual scrutiny from an already scrutinizing audience. And after some confusion surrounding Tom Clancy’s The Division 2, Epic Games founder Tim Sweeney has clarified a point — they will support
At E3 2018, I had the pleasure of previewing Anthem, BioWare’s first foray into the loot shooter genre. Coming out of that small room, I was stoked. I really enjoyed the vertical slice they presented as it showcased its fantastic gameplay, a facet BioWare isn’t really known for excelling in. Even with the lack of
Something is rotten in the state of Tom Clancy’s The Division 2. Beginning yesterday, third-party digital retailers began informing their communities that post-launch they will no longer be selling Ubisoft’s shared-world third person shooter due to upcoming retailer limitations. Even worse, this may lead to some negative impacts to customers and consumers who have already purchased The
Coming off the release of the original game in 2016, The Division 2 seems like it is aiming to go even deeper into depicting a pseudo-post-apocalyptic America in which any sort of government order seems to have been relinquished, with the game’s newly-released live-action trailer capturing some of the emotion of a new world order. Ubisoft has
During a demo event for Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 I was able to talk with Yannick Banchereau, Live Content Manager at Massive Entertainment. I was curious as to his perspective and experience working with Ubisoft’s worldwide studios partially due to Metroid’s reportedly similar structure that obviously ended up not working out. As the live content
During some hands-on time with Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 I was able to speak with Red Storm Entertainment’s Lead Gameplay Designer Keith Evans. I was able to ask about working with Ubisoft’s worldwide studios and how it is to work with people who are living and working in extremely different time zones all over
We are now over two years out from the initial release of Tom Clancy’s The Division, and Ubisoft has consistently supported the game with updates and new content since launch. Today, Update 1.8.1, also known as the Resistance update, was released, and it adds Xbox One X support to the game alongside two new global
