The Division Collector’s Edition & Season Pass Revealed



Ubisoft has detailed The Division’s Sleeper Agent Collector’s Edition and outlined the Season Pass that comes with the upcoming, cover-based online co-op shooter MMO type-thing.

The Sleeper Agent Collector’s Edition comes with a “fully functional watch which glows like the in-game SHD watches”, an Agent Armband, an artbook, a poster and an exclusive Collector’s Box. Additionally, pre-orders from the Uplay shop receive “guaranteed Closed Beta access”, an in-game Hazmat Gear Set and a Steelbook.

Also included in the Sleeper Agent Collector’s Edition is the Season Pass, which will grant access to “a full year of major expansions and exclusive benefits.”

You can see an image of the Sleeper Agent Collector’s Edition above, below you can watch a gameplay walkthrough from E3 2015. The Division is out in March 2016, following a period in closed beta which you can play before anyone else this December on Xbox One.

Good post and that's a nice set. As much as I like what I saw with Rainbow Six: Siege, I think this is the game with far more expandability, depth and possibilities. I'm looking forward to it and Uncharted 4 which hopefully come shortly after his.

I like when they offer the season pass as part of the set. Best Buy has both up for preorder now. After GCU, the gold edition is $80 and the CE is $128. The watch actually looks kinda cool, like a tactical watch. Wonder how good it will actually work.

I'll be waiting for the beta at the end of the year to determine if I pre-order or not. I'd like to purchase the Gold Edition as it includes the season pass, but at the same time, this is a Ubisoft game that is always online. As it stands now, Ubisoft's track record for online multiplayer has sucked and their last few new entries have been lackluster (Watch Dogs and The Crew).

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the campaign on Watch Dogs, but the multiplayer was unplayable. The Crew just sucked.

My desire for this went down a bit after watching that gameplay footage from a few days ago. Going into the "dark zone" and just shooting it up with the other groups of 3 didn't seem like to much fun. Yes, the graphics are pretty damn good but the game play just doesn't seem like something I haven't already played.

I think those looking for some other "COD or Tom Clancy" type shooter might be surprised there is far more than walking around and shooting at others. This will have a more RPG element than you might know. From IGN about the story and gameplay....

http://www.ign.com/wikis/the-division

The Division will break away from the common conception of RPGs. You will not talk to one person to get a mission, nor will there be acts. Instead, you will have a full map of New York with objectives you can choose to do at any time.

David Polfeldt, managing director at Massive, says “We wanted a lighter game than World of Warcraft. I’m not calling [The Division] an MMO,” although he’s aware of the similarities.

The Division will not, however, feature classes. “We allow you to progress through the skill tree as you prefer,” Polfeldt explains. Plus you can do a mulligan on your skill tree progress at any time and switch to custom-built classes with the touch of a button.

Though it’s a role-playing game first and foremost, The Division also draws from the hardcore survivalism of Day Z or State of Decay. When your sleeper agent awakens, their belongings include just three days of food, water, and supplies.

After that, you must scour for resources like ammo and weapons. The whole point is to drive players to explore and discover.

A variety of factions will be in the game. Some factions will be helpful, some will be harmful, and the remainder of FEMA and those type of organizations will be the biggest help in the game.

The weaponized virus that nearly wiped out the population will still be in play in Tom Clancy's The Division. Details as to how it will affect gameplay have not yet been released

I got my Alpha code today for XB1. Starts on Wednesday. Seems kinda late for an Alpha, since the game is out in 3 months.

Seems like a slower, more realistic Gears of War.

After letting it download for two hours last night while playing Tomb Raider, it was only 55% complete. At this rate, I probably won't even be able to play the damn thing since it's only 3 days long. Pretty dumb move that they didn't let it run through the weekend.

They sent me a beta code today, which is kinda odd since I canceled my preorder after the alpha.

Re: The Division -- Xbox One/PS4 -- March 8th, 2016

Going to play the beta this weekend with my friends. I am looking forward to this game, but I am a little upset with how the best loot is behind the dark zone PVP. The dark zone just seems to be a troll's paradise. We will try the dark zone, and we may even have fun, but I hate that they would try to force this on players who just want to play pve. Even Destiny did not force you into the PVP...you could get all the gear you wanted in the PVE mode.

Yeah, this game reminds me a lot of Destiny. I'm not ready to start grinding and getting frustrated in another game for now. I already have that set aside for Destiny 2

I have a Beta code for Xbox One for the first person to say "me!" I'll DM the code.
I can't use it since I won't have access to my console for another two weeks.

Just curious, is the PVE similar to Destiny with regards to other players roaming the environment, fireteams, etc.?

Re: The Division -- Xbox One/PS4 -- March 8th, 2016

Played for about an hour tonight and may give it another try tomorrow, but I'm most likely going to cancel my preorder and see if they fix some things. I only played PvE, I have no interest in the Dark Zone after reading about it.

Gameplay reminds me of Gears of War, only with much shittier controls, and the enemy AI is terrible. I lost track of how many bullet sponges armed with just a 2x4 charged at me. The screen can get too cluttered at times with information.

It's a shame because the environment is absolutely gorgeous.
