The Division is one of those properties that has an interesting concept at its heart, but because it's a co-op enabled experience, the story and characters are never really given room to breathe. But what if The Division wasn't an always online, multiplayer-focused series? What if there was a single player, story-driven spin-off?
This very idea was presented to The Division 2 creative director Julian Gerighty on Twitter. Interestingly, Gerighty retweeted the idea along with one word: "Thoughts?"
Obviously it's important not to read too much into this. A single tweet certainly doesn't mean that there's a single player Division game in the works right now, but the fact that the idea is getting this kind of attention is enough to raise an eyebrow. Adding fuel to the (admittedly quite small) fire, Gerighty adds "Apparently not something people are violently against" followed by a smiley face. Again, intriguing.
So, would you like a single player Division game? One that focuses on storytelling? Leave your squad behind in the comments section below.

if there was a single player, story driven, offline spin off?
then i would probably buy it, online only games can kiss my a**
The world seems like it can fit a single player focus. But how they deliver the story currently sucks so that would have to change dramatically. I'd at least be interested, but I'm still single player game burnt out, so not sure if would purchase.

So much this xs100
I already expressed how much I like this idea on the tweet. Story is one of the weakest parts of the Division games yet are set in a scenario ripe for some quality story telling.
I'd be all over a single-player offline game.
I would buy it day one
Yes please. They have a decent enough basic plot to work from which would suit the lone agent. I played D1 and D2 as single player games but the stories and mission structures were a bit rubbish. I reckon a focused story with set pieces, cutscenes and a protagonist who isn't a bloody mute would work really well.
How about optional coöp with a great story. 😃
Ok UBI if you read this: YES PLEASE!
Dont care of always online coco op crap.
Day1 for me... love both online ones. Story driven, Single player version would be great.
Would 100% buy day one.
I got to my gear 500 score playing solo. I’ve only now started teaming up with people.
I would definitely buy this. The world would be a fantastic place for a good story without all that online garbage dragging it down.
No interest in that at all. Love the game and most of the fun is had playing with others.
I adore The Divison! My friends and I delve deep into this game and spend hours on it. Shame that it’s not very well-received.
Depends... The story would have to be very good, though. They would also have to introduce some new and interesting gameplay mechanics as well. If it's the same as TD2 just without the multiplayer aspect I would have to pass.
Lol, they didn't even got the Div2 to work properly and are already talking about a new game? this is bs for me. I don't remember being this frustrated with a game (not even close). The amount of bugs is just incredible. And they're allways trying to make things better by changing and improving gear status, wich would be nice, if it wasn't so damn frustrating.. When you think you're getting a really nice set, they just change things and voila, your set is no longer that good and you're being slaughter in DZ.. And it's clear that this frustration is well spread. Even though we don't have real numbers and I can't prove this, the number of players is dropping. Big time. The number of players will probably go up next Tuesday, but with the current state of the game, it will drop really fast.. again..
