Tom Clancy’s The Division is another popular shooter, but unlike Overwatch, it is a third-person shooter. It was first announced in 2013, but it was released only in March 2016. Players are agents of the Strategic Homeland Division, and their goal is to help the Division reinstall their operations in New York, after a smallpox pandemic. In their activity, players need to investigate the cause of the outbreak and stop criminal activity in the area at the same time. The Division was Ubisoft’s best selling game, and it raised an estimated amount of $330 million globally in the first week after its launch. That is quite a big deal, given the multitude of games that were recently released.
