Explore The Division’s New York City With Interactive Map
In preparation for Tom Clancy's The Division, Ubisoft is unveiling an interactive map that'll put players into the game's destroyed world.
With 360-degree views, the map explores the streets of Manhattan after an epidemic wipes out much of the city. The interface, Ubisoft says, is for "
with quarantine zones, gangland activities, and other classified intel." You'll also find "developer insights" on key spots in the city.
There's more of the map still to come, but as of now, it highlights The Division's "RPG Basics." Clicking the green points on the map brings you right down to ground-level, where you'll have access to insights on the game. Clicking on Chelsea Pier, for instance, gives access to The Division's official podcast, where community developer Hamish Bode speaks with game director Ryan Barnard about the game's development.
