Ubisoft is yet to formally announce its Tom Clancy’s The Division: Definitive Edition, but you can now purchase it via the Xbox store. Unfortunately, however, its release has confirmed exactly what this new version of the game entails — and it’s not the remake or remaster that some fans had expected.
On Xbox at least, you can now pay $49.99 to own Ubisoft’s 2016 extraction shooter and all of its add-on content, including the game’s three expansions, season pass, and various DLC outfits.
There does not appear to be any new content here — or any new versions of existing content, either. This has come as something of a surprise to fans who had spotted advertising for the game’s Definitive Edition pop up last month alongside new merchandise, just in time for the game’s 10th anniversary.
Instead, for your money you’ll get access to the following Tom Clancy’s The Division items:
- Tom Clancy’s The Division
- Season Pass
- Season Pass Exclusive Outfits
- Expansion I: Underground
- Expansion II: Survival
- Expansion III: Last Stand
- Sawed-off Shotgun
- Frontline Outfit Pack
- Let it Snow Pack
- Military Specialists Outfits Pack
- Parade Pack
- Sports Fan Outfit Pack
- Streets of New York Outfit Bundle
- Marine Forces Outfits Pack
- Upper East Side Outfit Pack
“Get the complete The Division experience in this Definitive Edition!” Ubisoft’s blurb reads. “The base game, all three Season Pass expansions, and multiple cosmetic packs await you. Restore order and rebuild New York City after a devastating pandemic in this tactical open world third-person shooter.
“The Definitive Edition also includes gear sets, weapon skins, and customization options, everything you need to stand out as an elite agent.”
Two years on from its announcement, Ubisoft is still working on The Division 3. And while it has yet to show off the game or provide us with a release date, its now-departed chief developer Julian Gerighty has said he believes it will have as big an impact as The Division 1 did back in the day.
“So, The Division 3 is in production, right? This is not a secret. It’s been announced. It’s shaping up to be a monster,” Gerighty said. “I can’t really say anything more than that. But this is, within these walls in Massive, we are working extremely hard on something that I think will be as big an impact as Division 1 was.”
Last month, Ubisoft announced the cancelation of six games, the closure of two studios and further job losses at another three locations, and a cost-reduction initiative aimed at eliminating 200 positions at its Paris headquarters. Of the half dozen games that were scrapped, Ubisoft only publicly named one — its long-awaited Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake.
