Tom Clancy’s The Division launches on PS4 on March 8th, 2016… that’s tomorrow! Set in a representation of New York ravaged by a biological attack, Ubisoft Massive’s third-person, cover-based shooter features a heavy emphasis on player progression, loot collection, and social interaction.
Having played the recent open beta of The Division, we had lots of questions for the team behind this ambitious new project. We got in touch with Martin Hultberg, IP Director from Ubisoft Massive, to learn more.

Deep in the electro-abyss lives a little robot who loves to eat exploding fruit. He also quite likes staying alive. That’s where you come in…
Hey gang! Mike and Charlie here from Infinite State Games. We’re proud to announce that our cult PS Vita arcade game Don’t Die, Mr. Robot! launches tomorrow on PS4!
The PS4 version has a lot of tweaks and improvements, too. We’ve pumped up the visuals to target a silky smooth 60 frames per second with full HD. We’ve tweaked the soundtrack so it sounds even more rad on a big screen. We’ve massaged the controls to perfection, and we’ll be bathing your lap with technicolour neon glowy goodness emanating from the DualShock 4 lightbar.
Who doesn’t want a glowing lap plus manic bullet-dodging good times, eh?
It’s cross buy too, so you’ll get the PS Vita version for free if you don’t already have it....
Today we’re thrilled to tell players that Sniper Elite 4 is coming to PS4 this year.
What you’ll want to know, of course, is what makes Sniper Elite 4 special, whether you’re a sharpshooting veteran or a rookie looking to get their teeth into a new third-person stealth action game — especially now that it’s the first in the series to be developed from the ground up for PS4.
I thought it might be nice to reveal a few secrets from the teaser trailer to get the juices flowing. Enjoy!

Why is that opening date so important? Well, it places the game firmly in World War II of course, but there’s more to it than that. Sniper Elite 4 is set in Italy in the direct aftermath of the North African conflict seen in Sniper Elite 3, and Fascism’s grip on the Mediterranean is slipping.
Enter covert agent and series stalwart Karl Fairburne, dropped onto the Italian peninsula in advance of the Allied invasion. What starts out as an assassination mission quickly turns...
Did you know it’s been just over 10 years since the original Sniper Elite launched on the original Xbox? Back then Rebellion was running out of a smaller studio and Sniper Elite was an exciting new name in an era when World War Two shooters ruled the roost. And here we are a decade later! Rebellion’s a bit bigger – quite a bit bigger actually – but we’re still in Oxford and more importantly we’re still independent and proud to announce that Sniper Elite 4 will release on Xbox One as an ID @Xbox title later this year. It’ll be... See the rest of the story on Xbox Wire
Today, I have some difficult changes to announce that affect some of our Microsoft Studios teams and projects in the UK and Denmark. After much consideration we have decided to cease development on Fable Legends, and are in discussions with employees about the proposed closure of Lionhead Studios in the UK. Additionally, we will close Press Play Studios in Denmark, and sunset development on Project Knoxville. These have been tough decisions and we have not made them lightly, nor are they a reflection on these development teams – we are incredibly fortunate to have the talent, creativity and commitment of the people at these studios. The Lionhead Studios team has delighted millions of fans with the Fable series over the past decade. Press Play imbued the industry with a unique creative spirit behind games like Max: The Curse of Brotherhood and Kalimba, which both captured passionate fans. These changes are taking effect as Microsoft Studios continues to focus its investment and...
With global superpowers vying for control, one legendary agent is deployed to rebalance (or perhaps disrupt) the scales of power. Agent 47 returns to the world of assassination in Hitman on PS4, which begins its episodic launch this week.
In Hitman, players control the iconic assassin as he completes covert operations around the world. Players can use a variety of tools and weaponry to accomplish their objectives with total discretion or… otherwise. With more locations coming later this year, fans of stealth gameplay have plenty to look forward to.
Also launching this week is the hotly anticipated Tom Clancy’s The Division on PS4. Explore the devastated remains of a post-pandemic New York City as a highly-trained agent. Modify and level up equipment, find new weapons, and fight to reclaim the city from the clutches of chaos.
If you play games today, you owe a lot to Doom. This seminal game wasn’t the first first-person shooter, but it was far and away the most popular one for quite a long time. Developer id Software’s masterpiece of fast-paced, gun-toting mayhem set a template for the genre that is in many ways still in use today, and it pushed forward both gaming technology and the very concept of PCs as gaming machines. And yet, in spite of the game’s massive influence, it’s only gotten two sequels in over 20 years – the last over a decade ago. But at... See the rest of the story on Xbox Wire
The ongoing war between the undead and sentient fauna rages on, and both sides are bringing in reinforcements. Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 is even bigger and more awesome than its Xbox One launch game prequel. Check out why we’re loving this strategy game turned shooter. Competitive and Co-op Play Garden Warfare 2 features six competitive online multiplayer modes (supporting up to 24 players), and two four-player co-op modes. Whether you’re fighting for control over an expanding map in Turf Takeover, or teaming up with friends to defend your base in Garden Ops, Garden Warfare 2 has a variety...
