Ubisoft has revealed some new details about the player-vs-player component of the game.
Ubisoft game director Ryan Barnard answered some questions in the UbiBlog about how the next-generation game is taking shape.
The Division won't have a separate multiplayer component: The player-versus-player action will be fully integrated into the story experience. "We wanted to integrate it into the storyline and add an element of mystery, so you don’t know who is a friend and who is an enemy," said Bernard.
He also discusses the importance of loot, but assures that it won't be so critical as to create an enormous gulf between veteran players and those new to the title's post-event Manhattan. Weapon and drone customization are also important parts of the experience.
Weapons can be controlled by Android, iOS or Windows 8 tablets or smart phones. The experiences may differ slightly between phone and tablet and across platforms, but the core elements will be the same.
