In Ubisoft’s much-hyped third-person online shooter Tom Clancy’s The Division players find themselves in a New York City destroyed by a virus that has caused society as we know it to collapse, taking on the role of an agent in the Strategic Homeland Division—a group of people specially trained for an emergency situation such as this tasked with doing whatever it takes to save the city before it’s too late.

A series of new live action shorts have been released looking at the stories of four of these agents. The series is titled “Agent Origins,” and you can read more and check out all of the videos below.

In the wake of a devastating pandemic that sweeps through New York City, basic services fail one by one, and without access to food or water, the city quickly descends into chaos. As an agent of The Division, you’ll specialize, modify, and level up your gear, weapons, and skills to take back New York on your own terms. Tom Clancy’s The Division will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation®4 system, and Windows PC.
