There have been a lot of reports about "Tom Clancy's The Division," but the game's actual storyline has rarely been a focal point among the myriad leaks.
Thankfully, Xbox On was able to catch up with the game's associate creative director Julian Gerighty and learn more about what "The Division" had to offer in terms of its actual plot.
During the interview, one of the main things Gerighty focused on was the fact that the game's main storyline actually split up into three distinct threads.
The first thread focused on the virus itself. Players who probe deeper into this particular storyline will learn more about the origin of the virus and perhaps even discover if there may be a cure for it.
The second thread focuses more on the factions inside "Tom Clancy's The Division." Diving deeper into this storyline will allow players to learn more about these groups, and it may even help provide them with a way to overcome these factions.
Last of the three threads is the one that focuses on the infrastructure of the city, although Gerighty opted not to talk too much about this particular storyline during the interview.
As for how the players figure into the world of the game, the members of "The Division" themselves were called into New York City to help salvage what remains of the devastated setting.
"The Division" is made up of individuals "who have been embedded in society and are leading seemingly normal lives and they are basically the last line of defense when all else fails," said Ubisoft Marketing Director Ann Hamilton in an interview with USA Today.
Players who want to learn more about the story of "Tom Clancy's The Division" prior to getting into the game itself can also head on over to YouTube to watch videos entitled "Agent Origins."
"Tom Clancy's The Division" will be released on March 8.
