10 Upcoming Open World Games We're Most Excited For

2. Tom Clancy's The Division

Although recently rumoured for delay into 2015, The Division is still on track for this year which is pretty exciting. The first new Tom Clancy series in many years, The Division will give players control of a soldier in the "Strategic Homeland Division" after a disease introduced on Black Friday manages to collapse the U.S. in only five short days. The game is an intriguing blend of single and multi-player, sending you into battle with A.I. troops but also letting you face other players or your friends. The Division's open world is an extremely accurate representation of New York City, including Brooklyn, Queens and possibly other boroughs alongside video game mainstay Manhattan. The developers have scoured New York to provide a nearly to scale environment, which they will need if they want to fit thousands of players in one game world. A shooter MMO is a very interesting idea, and hopefully the developers find a way to balance it so players don't simply waste each other every time they get within eyesight. The game also features a "morality" system, not one that changes your character based on your choices but one that changes the city. New York in the game is a reactive metropolis, and it won't be long until its unrecognisable from launch day's version. These intriguing features make The Division a must-play game this year.
