Report: Tom clancy's the division to get public alpha

[Dohc-WP]

It appears that Ubisoft's upcoming multiplayer shooter, The Division, is prepping for a public alpha.

A few data-digging fans on Reddit turned up some details on the game's website that suggest the publisher is readying a public alpha test for its latest Tom Clancy title. Announced at this year's E3, The Division is an online shooter featuring heavy RPG elements that Ubisoft says it hopes to support for ten years to come.

Burried within the website's HTML files is a link to an Alpha section that's not yet visible without some real digging. It has, however, been preserved in a screenshot that makes it look pretty convincing that the link will go to a alpha test page.


Ubisoft has not yet replied to our requests for comment but, considering the game's online focus, it's plausible that The Division would get a public testing period similar to Bungie's Destiny.

There isn't an exact release date available for The Division, but Ubisoft has confirmed the title is set to arrive later this year alongside a new Assassin's Creed game and Rainbow Six: The Siege.
