The release day of Tom Clancy's "The Division" is approaching fast. That is why Ubisoft has slowly but surely disclosed some details about the upcoming online-only open world third-person shooter role-playing video game.

In another news, more details of the gameplay is revealed by Ubisoft Massive Associate Creative Director Julian Gerighty. According to a Gamespot report, he said in an interview that the game's narrative is divided into three different threads. Each of these threads comprise of a distinct story to tell.

First thread is about the virus, which will put the limelight on who created it and why it was made. The question of whether there will be a cure or not is also going to be revealed. Next thread involves the factions and it will center on tackling their origins and how the player will deal with them. Last is the restructuring of the destroyed infrastructure. This last thread is the "crucial plot point" so Gerighty did not spill much.

"The Division" will hit store shelves on March 8 for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
