Tom Clancy’s The Division is an online-only open world third-person shooter video game developed by Ubisoft Massive and published by Ubisoft, with assistance from Red Storm Entertainment, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game is based in a dystopian future NYC which has been ravaged by a smallpox epidemic. You play as an agent of the Strategic Homeland Division, who’s task is to rebuild the “The Division’s” New York operations.

The role seems perfect for Jake, who has had several lauded performaces in similar dystopian war films such as Demolition, Source Code, and Jarhead. Ubisoft is looking for one big actor to add to the project, and some believe it might be Michael Fassbender or Tom Hardy.
