Ubisoft have release a realistic simulator that shows how quickly The Division’s weaponized virus can spread. Known as Collapse the simulator will give you an idea as to how the events of the game occurs and how series this new viral strain can become.

The simulator is an online, interactive experience which uses real data to create a depiction of the end of society. Players act as patient zero of a highly contagious virus and has to make several decisions that will affect the spread of the pandemic.

Collapse is very robust, especially as it uses intel from NASA and IATA with input from emergency risk specialists to feature more than 3800 cities worldwide. The simulation allows users to compare different scenarios by choosing different epicenters or by changing their choices in order to find either the most vulnerable or safest cities on the planet.

This is a great way to advertise the game as well as introduce how devastating this virus can truly be. If you are interested in The Division and curious about how deadly this pandemic is, then definitely try your hand at Collapse and see the end of society before your very eyes.
