In the past week Ubisoft ad The Division Resurgenceits new open world AAA game for mobile devices, which is coming soon and which looks to take one of its main franchises to the next level.
At Bolavip Gamer we had the opportunity to speak exclusively with James Berry, Community Developer of the game in development, who told us everything about this new game, from the reasons that led the company to bet on the mobile game market, to some special details of this new game.
The first thing we asked James was the reasons for making this game, and he explained that the main thing was to be able to give fans of The Division something new:
“The greatest ambition of the team is to take this great franchise [The Division] to mobile, bringing players everything they love about The Division and making it accessible enough to have on their mobile devices. I’m talking about the Open World, the running and gunning, the cover and helping each other, everything that makes The Division unique.”
In addition, not long ago the company announced that Rainbow Six Mobile is a reality, and another game that will be released soon, and James acknowledged that within the company they decided that these were the two franchises indicated to start the jump to mobile:
“More and more gamers are choosing mobile devices, and bringing a AAA title to this place is one of Ubisoft’s goals. The Division, like Rainbow Six, are franchises that have very die-hard fans and now they will also be able to show it in Also, it gives possibilities to new players to discover them”.
“While the games are developed by separate studios, we’ve worked as a team to take some of the core features and take them to the next level, like the ability to customize the controls and game UI to your liking.”
But going back to The Division Resurgence, players will have every opportunity to experience the game as another AAA in the franchise, and that includes all of its major features:
“The Division Resurgence Open World allows us to run and fully explore this New York City, going from mission to mission as well as completing other side missions anywhere on the map, we want the game to feel the same as the console titles in that sense.”
“Everything can be played solo or cooperatively, our ideal is that the world feels alive, that players are inside and meet new players all the time. That is why we will be adding content regularly once it is released. “
The Closed Alpha is coming soon, with dates to be revealed in the coming days, and we’ll have plenty to play with:
“At the moment, we estimate that the Closed Alpha will deliver between 12 and 15 hours of gameplay, although that will depend on how deeply players want to experience each part of the title. As I mentioned, it will be a constantly evolving world, and we want players to don’t feel like it has an end.”
Of course, we are facing an AAA game, which implies that a device capable of running it will be necessary. The Division Resurgence is not a game for all mobiles, but they expect the range of mobiles capable of running it to be quite large:
“This is a big game, and it will require a bit more powerful devices to run it. However, we know what the state of the market is right now, and we will try to make it playable on as many devices as possible.”
