Tom Clancy’s The Division has been pushed to 2016

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo

The announcement we were all eagerly anticipating is here. Ubisoft announced this week that its online open-world shooter, The Division, is being pushed into 2016.

The game was set to release this year, previously, but Ubisoft had been vague about a release time frame, leading many to believe that 2015 wasn’t realistic. Now, the company is expecting the game to come out in the fourth quarter of their 2016 fiscal year – meaning sometime between January and March of 2016.

Last year was tough on Ubisoft with busted games, online problems, and lots of bad PR. It sounds like they might be learning, though. The next Assassin’s Creed is a single-player only game, and the decision to place The Division in early 2016 rather than that crucial holiday season suggests the company sees the benefits of getting the game right instead of getting it on the shelf.

Ubisoft also said that they’re working on an unnamed big-budget game with a similar time frame, but didn’t mention anything about what style of game it might be or whether it was part of an existing franchise.

The company is sure to announce more at E3 next month, but for now we know The Division will hit PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One early next year.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch? This PowerPoint app also works on the iPad , and we would argue it makes more sense to control a presentation on your tablet from your wrist than one that is on your smartphone.

Gears of War leakers punished by Microsoft

Footage of the Gears of War remaster currently in production leaked this week . Microsoft took swift action as a result, banning and suspending the accounts and consoles of the people who broke NDA. When you sign up to be a beta tester on very early projects like these, you sign a Nondisclosure Agreement. These NDAs are usually pretty tight and make clear what you are and aren’t allowed to talk about and what the consequences might be for breaking the agreement. In the case of these leaks, it seems that the leak actually went against not only the NDA the users in question signed when they started working with the firm handling the testing but against Microsoft’s End User License Agreement as well. The firm, VMC, sent out a letter to all its testers in the wake of the leak, stating that Microsoft has permanently disabled the Xbox Live accounts of the users in question, as well as any accounts unfortunate enough to be on the system at the time. Additionally, the console itself has be
