Back in May this year Ubisoft had some bad news for folks who had been waiting to get their hands on the upcoming title Tom Clancy’s The Division. This game was first announced at E3 2013 and even though multiple teams are working on the project it appears that much work is still left to be done. Ubisoft confirmed in May that the title had been delayed, and today it has said that it’s delaying the beta release of The Division.
Ubisoft had previously planned to release The Division beta in December this year but today it’s saying that the beta will now go live in “early 2016,” it did say that those who have preordered the Xbox One version will get priority access to an exclusive closed Xbox One alpha testing phase which takes place from December 9th to December 12th.
Those Xbox One users who are on the waitlist for the alpha version may be given access on an “as needed” basis, on the other hand those who have preordered this title on the Xbox One, PS4 or PC will get access to the closed beta on their respective platforms early next year.
Ubisoft says that this step has been taken to ensure that it delivers the open-world action-RPW experience that “exceeds your expectations,” and in the pursuit of that goal it has decided to delay the beta by a bit. Tom Clancy’s The Division is due to be released on March 8th, 2016.
