These include "Assassin's Creed Syndicate" due later this October, "Just Dance" and "Rainbow Six Siege" as well. In addition to this, Ubisoft has some exciting news in store for gamers and would be revealing the development of another AAA game, as per reports by Techno Buffalo.

Ubisoft had announced "Tom Clancy's The Division" way back in 2012 but the game ultimately faced several developmental hiccups until the recent news from the developer that the game would be released by 2015, Video Gamer reported.

Under unseen circumstances, Ubisoft have postponed its release to the first quarter of calendar year 2016 for reasons unknown. While this has left some fans disappointed, most fans agree that Ubisoft should take their time to give as much time as possible for developing a great Third-person-shooter game. Ubisoft had also announced that they would be releasing a Beta version of the game later this year and that they would use the feedback from Beta users to improve the game.

The game follows the path taken by most of the Tom Clancy brand games with the user taking charge of a shooter who is on a critical mission. However in this sceanario, the shooter is a part of a Division of strategic agents that are out on a mission to counteract the threats that are being posed to the United States government due to the outbreak of a virus.
