Global gaming company Ubisoft has shunned Premier League and International footballers to instead sign-up EFL League 2 stars as ambassadors for the launch of its latest release, Tom Clancy’s The Division 2.
Footballers including Dele Alli, Kyle Walker, Joe Gomez and Jesse Lingard are often seen promoting the latest gaming releases, but players including MK Dons' Callum Brittain and Robbie Simpson have been signed-up from League Two to promote the latest game in the blockbuster franchise.
Matt Taylor (Swindon Town), Kieran O’Hara (Macclesfield Town), George Ray (Crewe Alexandra) and Omar Sowunmi (Yeovil Town) are also on board.
Commenting on the new signings, Adam Merrett, Senior PR Manager at Ubisoft, said: “We’re thrilled to have signed up the very best players in their own division as ambassadors for the release of Tom Clancy’s The Division 2.
"Our new recruits will join an ever-growing and diverse community of Division players as we launch our much-anticipated Private Beta for The Division 2 over the coming days. Watch out for more to come on unique new signings as we head towards launch in March.”
The EFL League 2 division players celebrated their signing with a photoshoot featuring custom football shirts, before loading up the game for the first time. Each will be encouraging teammates to login during the Private Beta period, which lasts until Monday (February 11th).
Xbox One, PS4, and PC players can secure their access to the Private Beta by pre-ordering Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 at participating retailers, and players can still register for Beta access now for a chance to play at http://thedivisiongame.com/beta
> Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 releases worldwide on March 15th, 2019, on the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X, PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Windows PC.
