Months after the outbreak of a devastating global pandemic that started in New York City on Black Friday, traces of rebirth are spreading across the United States. Spring has come to the nation, and with it a glimmer of hope as civilians band together in settlements, trying to carve out a better life.
Amidst a ruined government, a shattered infrastructure, and an eroding civilization, The Division – an autonomous unit of sleeper agents activated when all else fails – is all that protects the people from predators who would harm them, scavengers who would take from them, and oppressors who would exploit them.
Fans of The Division can also look forward to The World of Tom Clancy's The Division hardcover book that will be released on March 19, 2019. "This hardcover book is the ultimate guide to understanding the crisis that struck the cities of New York and Washington D.C. after the green poison pandemic."
