Last year, Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment unviled Tom Clancy’s The Division. The trailer took us along on an adventure with a group of survivors as they scavenged a Post-Apocalyptic New York (or maybe it was the real New York, who can tell anymore?) The trailer offered up some pretty stunning visuals and interesting gameplay. The trailer however leaves you with much skepticism, ‘Can they really pull those graphics off?’ and ‘Will there ever be a multiplayer team that friendly and cooperative?”
Then Massive went silent. This never does anything to alleviate skeptical fears of a video game, but now during GDC 2014 they’ve released a new video of their Snowdrop engine, which they call ‘the first true next gen engine’ that will be the technical source for The Division.

They’ve also released a developer diary, as well as a post on Ubiblog which details more about what we see in the Snowdrop engine trailers.
Will Snowdrop deliver? Only time will tell, but for now what Massive has to show us is pretty beautiful.
