The Division is inspired by Operation Dark Winter and Directive 51, real-world events which "revealed how vulnerable we've become"; society has become "fragile" and "complex". In the game, a disease that spreads on Black Friday causes the United States to collapse in five days.The player is part of a group called "Strategic Homeland Division (SHD)", called "Division" for short. This group was established to combat the threat and do whatever it takes to "save what remains" in a massive multiplayer online situation, putting them against friends, AI, and other players.
The game is expected to be released Q1-Q2 2014 and is already being heavily developed. The Division is a next-gen exclusive and has been rumored to be finalizing development, adding requested features and "making the game work, making it more fun."
