The private beta that ended last weekend has prepped Ubisoft for the Open Beta, which was announced today, running from March 1 through March 4. Billed as the "next evolution in the open-world online shooter RPG genre", the game will launch for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. We'll have to wait and see if it lives up to that hype, as the first game was a lot of fun, then gamers went on to the next big thing. As far as revolutionizing the gaming industry, The Division fell well short of that admittedly lofty goal.
The sequel is set seven months after a deadly virus was released in New York City, bringing players into a busted up and collapsing Washington D.C. With the world is on the brink of complete, unbridled chaos, people are desperate as they live through the worst crisis in human history. You play as veteran Division agents, so you should already be a G when you begin the game, especially if you've played the previous game. A host of enemy factions vie for control of the city, and if Washington D.C. is lost, the entire nation falls.
Releasing worldwide on March 15, 2019, you can check out the beta info here.
