Ubisoft Refines Mobile Controls for The Division
2 Apr
Summary
- Mobile touch controls were refined through multiple playtests.
- Players can opt for controller support, mirroring The Division 2.
- The Division's tactical pace is ideal for handheld gaming.
The Division Resurgence has been meticulously developed for mobile, with executive producer Fabrice Navrez expressing high satisfaction with its touch controls.
Extensive playtesting and player feedback were central to refining the core gameplay, ensuring a high level of control comparable to traditional setups. For players preferring physical input, Ubisoft has ensured robust controller compatibility, employing a control scheme similar to The Division 2.
Navrez highlighted the inherent suitability of The Division's gameplay for mobile. Its tactical, cover-to-cover combat and slower pace, compared to typical shooters, lend themselves well to handheld gaming sessions. This allows players time to assess situations and make strategic decisions.
The game also features simplified mechanics, such as an option for automatic cover, to enhance approachability. The Division Resurgence is now available as a free-to-play title on mobile devices, maintaining its canonicity within the established universe and offering flexibility for shorter gameplay intervals.
