Ubisoft plans for The Division to hit in early 2016

You’ll have to wait until next year to play Ubisoft’s next open-world franchise.

Via the publisher’s 2014-2015 financial report, Tom Clancy’s The Division should come out in the fourth quarter of the publisher’s 2016 fiscal year, which is actually January through March. It’s for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Ubisoft also plans to launch another, unnamed triple-A game in the same time frame.

Ubisoft originally showed The Division at E3 2013 and gained attention and anticipation thanks to it “realistic” portrayal of a postapocalyptic U.S. complete with cooperative action.

This French publisher loves open-world games. It releases at least one new Assassin’s Creed every year, and its other big franchise, Far Cry, also takes place in a large, open map. Ubisoft launched another open-world franchise, Watch Dogs, last year.
