Irrespective of if you are pre-ordered the game or have gone through a registration process, Ubisoft have announced that all gamers will be able to take to the streets of mid-crisis New York in Tom Clancy’s The Division next week, with the game to receive a limited open beta testing period. The official testing period will be held from February 19th to 21st on the PlayStation 4 and PC, with Xbox One console owners to receive an exclusive 24-hour early access period on February 18th.
While this does provide gamers with a chance to check out Tom Clancy’s The Division prior to launch, and possibly sway some on the fence about picking it up, this testing period is set to test the game systems further and provide player feedback.
In addition to the content that was featured in the Closed Beta, the Open Beta will include an all new story mission for players to explore in their pursuit to save the city. Furthermore, everyone who participates in this latest testing phase will receive a special in-game reward which will unlock for players when the full game is released. Just what this extra in-game reward could be is currently unknown.
About Tom Clancy’s The Division
Tom Clancy’s The Division takes place weeks after a devastating pandemic sweeps through New York City on Black Friday. One by one, basic services fail and in only days, without food or water, society collapses into chaos. The Division, an autonomous unit of tactical agents leading seemingly ordinary lives among us, is activated to save society. Team up with other players to investigate the source of the virus, protect civilians from dangerous factions, and reclaim the city from the overwhelming turmoil.
