The Division reveals more story details

The-Division

There’s less than two months to go before The Division is finally out, but story details have been kept locked up tighter than the script to Star Wars Episode VIII: Electric Boogaloo. Being a game that is plastered with the Tom Clancy brand, there is a story at play here, one that has you assuming the role of a black ops agent who has been given complete freedom to do whatever it takes to restore some law and order (DUN-DUN) to a virus-ravaged New York City.

But there’s more to it than that. According to Ubisoft Massive associate creative director Julian Gerighty, there’ll be three separate story threads that move the game on, each one having its own tale to tell. “Every mission that you do is going to be linked to one of those story threads and is going to give you a little piece of the puzzle,” Gerighty explained to Xbox On.

Once you’ve completed all the missions in that story thread you’ll have all the pieces of the puzzle that you’ll put together and get an extra piece that will give you a different perspective on the story.

As Gerighty explained, one thread would deal with the virus that was spread through the Black Friday attack of tainted bank notes during the Christmas season, how it was developed and if a cure was on the horizon. Story thread deux would deal with the various factions that had control of New York and how to eliminate them. And story thread would be focused on restoring the infrastructure of New York and something else that Gerighty said he “can’t talk about too much.”

Story thread four which I’ve just made up, will deal with an irate taxi driver who keeps telling you to “fugheddaboutit” in the DLC expansion. The beta for The Division kicks off on January 28 on Xbox One, while PS4 and PC players get to join in a day later. For more info on The Division, check out our game hub dedicated to it.

    Story thread five will be you and your wacky friends attempting to negotiate the booming New York social scene while forging a career.

            Well James Gandolfini was an awesome actor, who died of a heart attack in Italy, but when you look at him, it’s understandable…

          I’d actually feel sorry for NY if all the crap that’s happened in movies actually hit that city.

            The problem is, this event does not have a timer. It’s depends on how fast the players kill the new stalker enemies.

            Yup, but that only means if the community can not down the 5 stalker enemies in 8 days, we fail the alert 😛

            I went to check the tracker, only 3 of the 5 have been discovered with 2 sitting at 98% health and 1 at 88% health. It seems this is gonna take a while xD

            That is because we haven’t played yet, we will hit it ALL tonight

            Hmm. So kinda like the Fomorian alerts then.

            And to think last night I thought, “you know what, I’m not going to play Warframe, I’m going to play something else.” And I did. For the first time in AGES. And I miss the start of an event.

            I still need a blue potato for my Dragon. Rolling with a Broken War at the moment and I must say, its made life difficult for me… Started off with the Nikana, then got a Dakra Prime, Then got the Dragon and now Broken War. They are all so close in terms of stats and even closer in terms of awesome looks I really struggle to pick.

    I say the real big bad faction is going to be revealed as Uber that infiltrated NYC with evil terrorists disguised as innocent immigrants in urban assault vehicles disguised as Toyota Prii.
