As the years go by, it seems that the video game majors are convincing themselves that their presence in the mobile gaming market must be total. Not with second-tier franchises but with the same titles that make us vibrate on PC and consoles. For something, the segment of mobile titles is, by far, the one that generates the most income if we compare it with what is sold by Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo or stores such as Steam, Epic Games, etc.
the resurgence is coming
With that idea in mind, Ubisoft has decided to follow in the footsteps of other large companies that have set themselves the mobile territory as a place to go to look for good income, protected by brands recognized by gamers themselves. Think if not in the future Call of Duty: Warzone for smartphones, or the most recent Diablo Immortal that, although controversial due to its insatiable desire to collect money, has not prevented Blizzard from working again that free 2 play formula of its already legendary Hearthstone.
Thus, Ubisoft has just announced that it is preparing the launch of The Division Resurgence , a new title of the famous franchise that launched in March 2016 (for PS4, Xbox One and PC) plus a second installment in 2019 after a stellar demo in the E3 of 2013 that left everyone with their mouths open. Then, it is true, that graphic portent was a bit blurred but the French managed the unthinkable, creating a new IP with solid game foundations around an apocalypse and an open world city devastated by gangs.
If you remember, The Division is, in essence, a third-person action game with countless RPG elements when it comes to configuring our character, where we will have to deal with all kinds of objects and improvements to give him a little specialization in different types of combat. Although part of the charm of the game is found in the weapons and pieces of the tier , hopefully they maintain the skill tree of the original games in some way. We understand that canning all that in a mobile development is complex, but it would not be bad at all.
multiplayer spirit
But without a doubt, a good part of the charm of The Division Resurgence will come from its place in the history of the two games already released in the last six years, and which take us to a devastated New York, a really attractive open world where we can not only complete missions, but enjoy cooperative events that are much more entertaining. Moreover, we will see to what extent it remains faithful to The Division 2 and all the changes it introduced in its open world system, with that development based on opening new safe enclaves from which to gradually conquer the city.
Unfortunately, everything seems like great news around The Division Resurgence except for one detail: the final release date is not known or when we will have to wait to play it. Of course, Ubisoft has already announced that it will be completely free and, of course, we have no doubt that we will have to drop some (real) money to get better and better equipment.
