We’ve already looked at the new “Falcon Lost” incursion that will be added to The Division in the upcoming 1.1 update, and more recently (as in, earlier today) the “/report” function that will give players the ability to report cheating from within the game. But The Division is a big game, and this is a pretty...
An update to The Division that went live in March changed the game in a bunch of good ways, and one that, for some players, was very much the opposite of good. After it deployed, complaints began rolling in that high-end backpacks were disappearing from inventories, and worse, that players were being locked out of...
Sam lake The instantly recognizable Sam Lake is the original face of Max Payne, and wrote the scripts for the first two games. He was also lead writer on Alan Wake and its offshoots, and most recently Quantum Break, a third-person shooter with TV show elements that’s being published by Microsoft for Windows 10.

Ubisoft has announced that the first of two free “Incursion” expansions will come to The Division on April 12. Entitled “Falcon Lost,” it will take place in an underground water treatment facility that now serves as a stronghold for the Last Man Battalion, and feature four new rare gear sets, each one tailored to a...
Ya koon tacha ka poonoo nee sah. Jabba the Hutt is laughing at me. The corpulent crime boss rumbles ominously in Huttese, relishing my damning choice to strike a deal with him. What little light that struggles through his throne room’s smoky haze is gridded onto the walls and floor through slatted vents. A stronger...
After first breaking Ubisoft company records within its first 24 hours of release, The Division went on to hit 1.2 million peak concurrent users and raked in $330 million globally in its first five days—a feat that crowned it the biggest new game franchise in history. Since, many a player has scoured its post-apocalyptic interpretation of Manhattan from...
Watch Dogs 2 was confirmed in February to no great surprise, but it was still nice to have it made official. The game is still quite a way from completion, but Ubisoft dropped a hint about what’s coming at an AMD press conference at GDC: Specifically, as reported by The Country Caller, that it will support DirectX...
The Grand Theft Auto series has never left the US—or its fictional account of it, anyway—but apparently it once came close to boarding Air O for a trip to Tokyo. According to our friends at TechRadar, a source close to Rockstar says the developer was “serious” about making a GTA set in Tokyo, but pulled the plug after...
There’s more than just man-shooting, gear-grinding, and collectible caps and parkas in The Division. Post-virus Manhattan is also filled with film and TV references, nods to pop-culture, and other Easter eggs (just in time for Easter). Here are some we found, and some others found, and where you can find them for yourself. If you’ve come across any we...
The Division had a major new patch roll out yesterday, which made some much-needed changes to the game’s previously dire Dark Zone PvP offerings. Those changes have been welcome, but the patch has reportedly introduced a nasty bug, too: some players are reporting that high-end backpacks are disappearing from their inventory. In letters sent to Kotaku, the backpacks not only...
