Although unintentional, a new gameplay trailer for The Division has hit the web with a lot of new details about the game, including a large amount of in game footage. The clip was accidentally posted by Gamestop Italy who quickly took it down, but not before some eager fans spotted it and made their own copy to post elsewhere.
We're just 8 weeks away from the official release, and with fans eager to get a glimpse of the game, the video has been spreading through the community like wildfire. Although the narration is in Italian the visuals are pretty descriptive. We can see what looks like the home base we'll be returning to after our forays into the quarantine zone. It contains several different facilities including a medical unit, canine unit, armory and others that appear to be upgradable.
We then get a look at some of the combat which includes a character taking cover while avoiding shots from an armored up enemy. When that enemy is taken down a rare rifle is picked off the corpse (confirming how you'll be getting new gear). The gun itself is then brought up into a pretty nice looking customization screen that allows you to swap gun parts in and out to set it up just how you like it.
Finally the trailer ends with what appears to be a boss fight against a flamethrower wielding, beefed up bad guy that takes a team of three to dispatch. The combat during the fight looked frantic, with flames flying everywhere catching players and objects on fire.
If you want to watch the trailer for yourself, one of the copied versions can be found Here.
