'Tom Clancy's The Division' has received a release date for December 31, 2015 on Xbox One, while no exact date has been revealed yet for PS4 or PC.

"Working on The Division is a once in a lifetime opportunity for all of us at Massive, Reflections, and Red Storm Entertainment. We are creating something we are really proud of and we don't want to compromise on quality. We are going to release the game when it's ready," according to the official blog posted by the game's Dev Team earlier this year.

The post continued, "We want to thank you again for the exceptional ongoing support. Community is at the heart of what we are doing and we're very much designing the game with you in mind, so your involvement means a lot to us."

Ubisoft and the team of designers and developers are trying to channel the DNA of classic Tom Clancy military-themed novels to this game.

Clancy, who died in October of 2013, is known for authoring best-selling books that revolved around espionage and military science with intricate and incredible technical details.

Based on the official storyline, players will take on the role as agents for a secretly formed group called "The Division" to maintain peace and order following a pandemic that has spread across New York City:

"The Division, a classified unit of self-supported tactical agents, is activated. Leading seemingly ordinary lives among us, The Division agents are trained to operate independently of command, as all else fails," the plotline reads.

It continues, "Fighting to prevent the fall of society, the agents will find themselves caught up in an epic conspiracy, forced to combat not only the effects of a manmade virus, but also the rising threat of those behind it. When everything collapses, your mission begins."

The Division will only be available for next-gen consoles and is 100% social.

Pre-order of the game is already ongoing.
