Tom Clancy’s The Division beta extended by 24 hours

Ubisoft’s latest multiplayer shooter-cum-RPG, The Division, is currently in its beta phase, with the developers ironing out online bugs and in game glitches while giving users a taste of what’s to come. But due to the positive reception of the title, and the number of beta users currently on the waitlist, the company has decided to extended the beta by another day.

The announcement was made by Ubisoft‘s community manager Natchai Stappers on The Division’s official forum:

Over the last few days, we’ve seen an incredible amount of excitement for the game, leading to many of you registering on the waitlist for a chance to join our Closed Beta. We’ve been working very hard to let as many players as possible join, while still maintaining a smooth experience for everyone.

Earlier today, we announced that we were now inviting as many players as possible from the waitlist, in addition to those who had guaranteed pre-order access. We’ve started sending invites, with priority given to those who signed up first.

In order to allow everyone who has access to fully enjoy the Beta, we’re happy to announce we’re extending the duration by 24h for all players

Initially scheduled to end on 1 February 2016, the beta has now been extended to 2 February 2016, with digital gates shuttering at 1pm SAST.

The game itself is due for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC debut on 8 March 2016.
