Pre-order Tom Clancy's The Division

Tom Clancy's The Division" is set to hit the market in March 2016, but fans will surely be excited by the news that the upcoming game is now available for pre-order.

The open world third-person shooting game will be released on March 8, 2016. Ahead of its official launch, "Tom Clancy's The Division" has now been made available for pre-order, and this option will come with additional perks, according to The Venture Capital (VC) Post.

Pre-ordering "Tom Clancy's The Division" will guarantee players closed beta access, plus a Hazmat Gear Set DLC pack. The game's standard edition will sell for $60, while the Gold Edition will come with a price tag of $100, a Gameranx report cited by the VC Post says.

"Tom Clancy's The Division" for PC can now be pre-ordered from Steam, Gamezone relays. However, players first need a Uplay account to play the game ordered from Steam. And if they want to get their hands on the Hazmat Gear Set for free, pre-ordering the game would be a wise move, the report details.

Because Ubisoft has been frequently pushing back the release date of "Tom Clancy's The Division," fans have previously worried that the game may not be released after all. Moreover, there have been concerns over the graphics of the game. However, a YouTube video from MacroStyle showed that the upcoming Ubisoft game will feature advanced graphics and will use the Snowdrop engine, the Ecumenical News reports.

Another thing that makes the game more exciting is senior designer Matthieu Delisle's announcement about a new PvP mode dubbed "Rogue." In the new mode, players will be able to level up by killing other players. The more players are killed, the longer the player retains the Rogues status, and surviving the status will result in a bounty.

Story

The Division takes place in mid-crisis New York, and the player's mission is to restore order by investigating the source of the virus. Players have to team up with other Division agents as they progress.

In the game, a pandemic that spreads on Black Friday causes the United States Government to collapse in five days; basic services fail one by one, and without access to food or water, the country quickly descends into chaos. In the wake of the devastating pandemic that sweeps through cities across the country, including New York City, it is discovered that the spread of the disease is transmitted through germs on banknotes. As a last resort, the player is part of a classified unit of self-supported tactical agents, known as the "Strategic Homeland Division (SHD)", or "The Division" for short. Leading seemingly ordinary lives, SHD agents are trained to operate independently of command when all else fails. This group is established to combat the threat brought about by the outbreak and are given direct authority by the President of the United States to do whatever it takes to prevent the fall of society and piece the city back together in a massive multiplayer online situation, putting them against AI-controlled enemies, as well as other players in the game. Throughout the game, the agents will find themselves caught in a worldwide conspiracy and will be forced to combat both the threats of the virus as well as those who unleashed it.

"Tom Clancy's The Division" for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One will be out on shelves on March 8, 2016. A beta version of the game will also be released earlier in 2016.
