Rumors have been percolating for a while that Ubisoft was prepping a mobile version of their The Division open-world MMO-shooter series, and today they made it official, announcing Tom Clancy’s The Division Resurgence. Based on the game’s debut trailer and information, it seems like Ubisoft is looking to retain most of what makes The Division unique on mobile, including a large open-world, co-op play, and much of the lore and world-building from the core PC and console games. That said, it seems PvP won’t be part of the package, at least at launch. You can check out the first trailer for The Division Resurgence, below.
Well, Resurgence is not going to replace the core The Division titles, but it looks fairly ambitious for a mobile title. Need to know more? Here are the game’s key features:
