Ubisoft is gunning for a transmedia hit with Tom Clancy’s The Division. The French game publisher is announcing today that it is creating a live-action short film, Agent Origins, in partnership with Amazon Prime and three different creators of viral videos on YouTube.

More than a year ago, Ubisoft teamed up with YouTube video talent RocketJump, Corridor Digital, and Devinsupertramp. Each party made a separate live-action episode while Ubisoft also made one. The full four-episode compilation will be available on Amazon Prime Instant Video starting today. The films will be released as separate episodes on YouTube.
