Last week, Ubisoft released the highly anticipated Tom Clancy's The Division to much success! Fans are eating it up and people have already reached the maximum rank.
In a blog post, Ubisoft revealed that The Division had the best launch week for any new franchise, taking the crown from Destiny. In 2014, Destiny had the best launch week for any new franchise selling $325 millon worth of copies and just last week The Division managed to just barely pass the previous record holder by selling $330 million.
This isn't the first massive record the game has broken though. Ubisoft broke their personal digital sales record with the launch of The Divison and has had the biggest first quarter launch ever in the UK! Co-founder of Ubisoft, Yves Guillemot made a statement regarding the success of The Division.
“The Division taking the top spot in the industry for first-week sales of a new franchise is a tremendous achievement. We are very proud of our teams, and humbled by and thankful for the millions of players who are giving us their feedback and support,” said Yves Guillemot, CEO and co-founder of Ubisoft. “The Division is the latest example yet of our unique ability to deliver immersive gaming playgrounds that keep players engaged, and that they eagerly share with their friends and community.”
It's safe to say The Division is going to be a franchise Ubisoft keeps around for a long time. The Division is out now on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.
