PS4, Xbox One game The Division not in trouble, dev insists

Per Gamespot:

Ubisoft announced today that its UK studio Ubisoft Reflections will join Ubisoft Massive in developing upcoming Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC Tom Clancy game The Division, but the two-studio approach does not mean the game is in trouble, as it was previously suggested.

"That's absolutely not the case," Reflections managing director Pauline Jacquey told Develop. "This is part of a global model that Ubisoft has been deploying in the past seven or eight years.

"It's also classic team size management. You don't want your team to be too big when you're in the initial phase of conception, when you need a lot of agility," she added. "But when you're in full production--and given that the game's scope is gigantic--it needs a big team behind it."

An anonymous developer at Ubisoft Massive said last month that The Division's fall 2014 release window was "laughable" because actual game developer has "barely started."

It isn't known how far along development is on The Division, but Jacquey said her team at Ubisoft Reflections will have a major hand in the process, and will work on its main characters, enemies, RPG pillars, online components, and building the game's setting of Manhattan.

Ubisoft Reflections previously worked on Watch Dogs and Far Cry 3, among other titles.

Umm, this has nothing to do with Watch Dogs. lol.
 
My bad... I went a bit crazy earlier merging threads and must have clicked the wrong one by mistake. I've now moved your post to the correct thread. ;)

Following the announcement of Far Cry 4 for release in November, Ubisoft has revealed that The Division will be released in 2015.

"Today we announced that Tom Clancy's The Division will be available in 2015 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC," says the statement on the official site.

"Working on The Division is a once in a lifetime opportunity for all of us at Massive, Reflections, and Red Storm Entertainment. We are creating something we are really proud of and we don't want to compromise on quality. We are going to release the game when it's ready.

"We want to thank you again for the exceptional ongoing support. Community is at the heart of what we are doing and we’re very much designing the game with you in mind, so your involvement means a lot to us.

"The production is getting stronger every day and we can't wait to show you what we’ve been up to at this year’s E3."
 
In Tom Clancy's The Division, society has fallen and it's your job to set things right. In this exclusive walkthrough you'll see five minutes of gameplay footage showing off the game's detailed open world, advanced gadgets, intense tactical gunplay, and online co-op action.

Watch as a squad of agents work their way through the ruins of New York to combat deadly opposing factions and bring order to a city lost to a pandemic. With state-of-the-art gadgets like the data-collecting ECHO tool and high-powered firearms, the agents have a vast array of tools and technology to defend New York and bring society back from the brink.



About Tom Clancy's The Division:
We live in a complex world. The more advanced it gets, the more vulnerable it becomes. We've created a house of cards. Remove just one, and everything falls apart.

On Black Friday, a devastating pandemic sweeps through New York City, and one by one, basic services fail. In only days, without food or water, society collapses into chaos. The Division, an autonomous unit of tactical agents, is activated. Leading seemingly ordinary lives among us, these agents are trained to operate independently in order to save society.

When society falls, your mission begins.

KEY FEATURES
• Take Back New York: Welcome to a next-gen experience in a persistent and dynamic environment where exploration and player progression are essential. Teaming up with other Division agents, your mission is to restore order, investigate the source of the virus, and take back New York.

• A Living, Breathing World
Enter a universe where time of day and weather conditions impact your gaming experience. Use the environment for strategic advantage to dominate fights and ambush your enemies. Utilize your gas mask to provide protection from the virus, and upgrade it to enter the most highly contaminated areas.

• Urban Jungle
New York City is being overrun by hostile groups that are trying to take advantage of the crisis. One such group is the Cleaners, who travel throughout the city wherever the contagion levels rise. Wearing hazmat suits and wielding flamethrowers, the Cleaners leave nothing but ash in their wake.

• The Agents of The Division
Trained to act independently from any chain of command, the Agents are autonomous and adaptive, working alone or in small groups. They are the last line of defense, activated when all else fails to save what remains.

• Gear Up
Harness state-of-the-art technology, both networked and prototype, as a member of The Division. Loot fallen enemies and upgrade your gear. Customize your character and your backpack, your lifeline in the event of a collapse. Communicate with other agents at all times with your smartwatch and customize and level up your weapons. The choices you make will help to forge a recovery, or plunge the city deeper into chaos.

• Game-Changing Skills
Choose and upgrade your skills smartly and synergize with your teammates to increase your chances of winning in combat. Use the ECHO, a data collection tool that renders moments frozen in time, to learn valuable information about your immediate environment and find hidden loot, and to help uncover the truth behind the pandemic.

• Social Seamless Multiplayer
Team up with friends to seamlessly take down your enemies and achieve group objectives. Raise the security and morale levels of the surviving citizens of New York to unlock and secure a base of operations, and fight through a city where danger can come from anywhere, and anyone, at any moment.

• Revolutionary Companion Gaming
Join your friends in real-time gameplay on your tablet. The app gives you a bird's-eye view of the battlefield and the ability to aid your allies in combat by attacking enemies or identifying targets and raining destruction down on your enemies.

• Snowdrop Engine
Powered by the fully next-gen Snowdrop engine, Tom Clancy's The Division sets a new bar in video game realism and open world rendering. Experience a chaotic and devastating New York like you've never seen before.

Another delay...

It was almost precisely one year ago that Ubisoft announced that Tom Clancy's The Division would be delayed to 2015. And today, to mark the near-anniversary of that event, Ubisoft revealed that Tom Clancy's The Division will be delayed to 2016.

The news comes by way of page 19 of Ubisoft's FY15 earnings presentation, released today in PDF format, which states rather blithely that the "highly anticipated open-world MMO RPG" with "amazing graphics" will release in the fourth quarter of its 2016 fiscal year. In calendar terms, that puts it somewhere between January 1 and March 31 of 2016.

"It is never an easy decision to move a launch date," Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot told IGN.

In spite of the delay, it's possible (and even likely) that The Division will feature prominently at this year's E3, which runs from June 16-18.
