Actually, “The Division: Resurgence”, the mobile game in the well-known Tom Clancy series from Ubisoft, hasn’t really interested me until now. But as of today, that’s different. Not only is the game amazingly close to the original, but it still sounds like the long-awaited The Division 3 that gamers have always wanted.
So Ubisoft lures with new content: In the summer of 2022, The Division Resurgence was announced as the mobile game in the Division series. At this point, the game seemed to be just a stripped down version of Division adapted for mobile devices.
For most die-hard agents of the division, like our shooter author Maik Schneider, not really exciting at first.
Since yesterday’s Ubisoft Forward, however, it has become clear: “The Division: Resurgence” is apparently not just a slimmed-down mobile version of the third-person cover shooter, but a promising expansion of the popular The Division in New York City, which is now also die-hard fans could convince.
Get your first glimpse of the familiar environment of the new Mobile Agents in the latest pre-rendered CGI trailer for The Division: Resurgence, which launched its beta today:
Free gaming experience with open social space
What’s new in The Division: Resurgence: Basically, of course, “The Division: Resurgence” also offers the well-known Division experience – just on mobile phones.
Not much changes in the unique basic story itself:
In addition, it offers the well-known 3rd person shooter feeling from Division 1 and 2, an RPG character development, the MMO approach, the cover mechanics, looting and leveling as well as a large open world in New York City.
Ubisoft promises a “brand new MMO adventure”
Even though there will be a lot that will be new in The Division: Resurgence, it is not necessary to know the events of parts 1 and 2 in order to be able to play the game. However, experienced Division agents should be able to make connections and gain new perspectives on old Division story elements.
Another change will be the shared and open MMO world.
You will no longer have an instanced game world, as is currently the case with the Division games, but an “open social space”.
In addition to the PvEvP-classified dark zone, there is also the sole PvP mode “Conflict: Supremacy”.
Ubisoft has also changed something technically: With Resurgence you can challenge your smartphone graphically, because the title does not rely on the previously used Snowdrop engine, but on Unreal Engine 4.
Unfortunately, nothing more is known about the new enemy factions or the new specializations, such as the field medic. But with this information alone, “The Division: Resurgence” already sounds like the Division that Ubisoft should have released as a successor years ago.
Beta starts today – but not in Germany
“The Division: Resurgence” started its first official beta today, June 13th at 12 noon. However, not in Germany yet, but in Australia, Chile, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain and Sweden.
Interested players from Germany will have to be patient before they can discover the game themselves. However, pre-registrations are already possible.
What are the requirements? As a Free2Play title, Resurgence will be available for all iOS and Android devices. You can also use a Bluetooth controller to gamble. However, your device should have at least 8 GB of free storage space.
When is Division: Resurgence release? An exact date is not yet available. But Ubisoft is now aiming for autumn 2023 for the official release. As always, you can find out when exactly on MeinMMO.
How Resurgence is funded: Funding is provided by in-game purchase options, such as micro-transactions, and a shop where you can spend real money.
