The Division trailer sets the scene for a grim, post-apocalyptic NYC

[Night Hunter]

There's no shortage of games set in New York, but The Division's bleak apocalpytic vision is looking pretty exciting so far, if only because it channels Escape From New York. That impression is bolstered by the trailer above: what starts as a common flu quickly escalates into some deadly contagion, so a wall is erected around Manhattan in order to keep the infected inside. Escape From New York had no such contagion, but it did have a huge wall around Manhattan. If only The Division had Snake Plissken. 

The Division won't release until early next year, but Ubisoft has been steadily releasing footage since a major showing at E3 last month.
