While Ubisoft had started taking in pre-order for the widely anticipated title in the Tom Clancy franchise, developers further tickled the imagination of fans when they answered a few questions in the community page built for "The Division."

In a community Q&A for "Tom Clancy's Division," game developers and bigwigs answered questions from fans ranging from discussion on game details to the mundane concerns about post-apocalyptic scenarios. For starters, Massive Entertainment IP Developer and Communications officer Martin Hultberg explained the reason behind the choice of New York City as the location for the post-apocalyptic game. Hultberg said that "a complex city like New York was well suited to show the fragility of society."

Hultberg also answered a question if there would be zombies on "Tom Clancy's The Division." He said that they "strive to be authentic." Meanwhile, Ubisoft Asia and Nordic Studios Community Development Lead Antoine Emond shared his favorite feature in the game. Emond said that it would have to be the "Dark Zone" because they have something "unique, exciting and suspenseful" for players in the "Dark Zone."

Emond even expressed his appreciation for the fans' anticipation over the game. He said that he was "blown away by the warm reception." He even remembered his favorite quote the day fan sites were built on June 10, 2013, the first instance the developers released a statement regarding the development of "Tom Clancy's The Division." He said that the qoute read, "3 years ago, we thought a game like this would be available in 20 years, time is truly unpredictable."

While the release date for "Tom Clancy's The Division" could still be unpredictable, the avid fans were surely doing something productive while waiting for the post-apocalyptic game to reach the racks.

It seemed that if fans cannot still get their hands on the game, then they'll just be busy posting their affectionate fan art or photos expressing their admiration and anticipation for "Tom Clancy's The Division" on the game's official social media pages.
