The ambitious video game project, Tom Clancy’s The Division, after its dates, including beta test, kept on getting push back, finally gets to have the Beta phase on track. According to Ubisoft, the Beta is set for the 28th of January 2016. The Beta will initially start on the Xbox One platform, with the Sony Playstation 4 and PC to follow 24 hours after.

The Beta is comprised of story driven missions to help you establish your foothold in New York City. It is an Open World game, and thus even for the Beta phase, there will be a lot exploration to do:

In the Tom Clancy’s The Division Beta, you will be one of the first to play the revolutionary next-gen experience that brings the RPG into a modern military setting for the first time. In the wake of a devastating pandemic that sweeps through New York City, basic services fail one by one, and without access to food or water, the city quickly descends into chaos.

As an agent of The Division, you’ll specialize, modify, and level up your gear, weapons, and skills to take back New York on your own terms. Xbox One players will have 24 hour early access to The Division Closed Beta, starting on January 28th. The beta will start on January 29th for PS4 and PC players.

For those who are interested in joining the Beta, please take note that this is a Closed Beta and there are three options to join. If you have pre-ordered from a participating retailer, you get a guaranteed spot. Also, if you register at the website, you may join the waiting list and get lucky to be given an invitation. The third option is to follow them on their social media pages where they will be giving away beta keys.

The Beta period will be brief, ending on the 31st of for all platforms. So far, Ubisoft seems on track to release the game on the 8th of March 2016 as the date remains unchanged.
