Red Storm helps arm The Division

As with many other big Ubisoft productions, The Division is not a one studio operation, it was previously known that Ubisoft Reflections in Newcastle were helping Swedish Massive Entertainment with development, but it has now been revealed that Red Storm (the original studio behind Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six, founded by Tom Clancy himself) are lending some assistance as well.

"Red Storm is the birthplace of the Tom Clancy game franchise - having them work with us is a fantastic opportunity," says Fredrik Rundqvist, Executive Producer at Massive. "Their expertise in military hardware, weapons and everything Tom Clancy is second to none in the industry. I really look forward to having them onboard and I am sure they will add a lot of amazing things to the game!"

Specifically Red Storm's weapons department will help arm The Division.

"They knew that surely we must have a team here that knows what we're doing on that front," says Red Storm Producer Tony Sturtzel. "They were right and our weapons team was available."
