The Division Will Launch In Early 2016
Ubisoft announced today that its anticipated multiplayer game, The Division, will not arrive until 2016. The game will still arrive in Ubisoft’s current fiscal year, but it will miss holiday 2015.
Ubisoft says the game will arrive the fourth quarter (January to March 2016). Still on track for this year are Assassin's Creed Syndicate on October 23, Just Dance, and Rainbow Six Siege (launching in the holiday quarter). Ubisoft will also announce another AAA game this fall (and not at E3).

Our Take
While this isn't entirely surprising, it's disappointing for fans hoping to play the game this holiday.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
