They are fighting to prevent the fall of society, but the agents will soon find themselves in a conspiracy and fight not only the effects of am artificially produced virus, but also the threat behind it. If everything collapses, your mission begins.

With use of the specially for the game developed engine called Snowdrop Engine, Ubisoft lets NYC appear in a new, but quite conscious different light. The game world is similar to the original in many ways, so you just get a feeling for the real New York. The 5. Intelligence Annex tells more about the experiences gathered there by the developers.

The Division leaves it to you whether you prefer to fight alone against the evil, or in co-op mode with friends and other players around the world to defeat the perpetrators of the virus. But that’s not all, because in the so-called Dark Zone you can also measure yourself against other players.
