Develop reports that Newcastle based Ubisoft Reflections are working on The Division collaborating with Massive Entertainment on the project.
"We're working on all of the game's systems: main characters, enemies, RPG pillars, building Manhattan, online components, and so on," managing director Pauline Jacquey told Develop.
"It gives us a very broad and wide input on the game, but it's not as limited as the naval battles on Assassin's Creed III."
About 40 percent of the Reflections team is focused on The Division, and according to Jacquey the collaboration came as a result of Massive's and Reflections' mutual desire to work together, and not as a result of any development issues.
Bringing in more resources towards the development of The Division may put it back on track for a 2014 release, even our sources tell us it's unlikely.
