VG247.com, part of Gamer Network, has signed a deal with looking-for-group (LFG) site The100.io to create a player-grouping service online for Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy’s The Division. The100.io is a tool for creating play groups for Bungie’s Destiny. VG247’s Brenna Hillier, after using its service, says, “Enter The100. Nothing will ever be the same… This is the best community tool, for any game, I have ever seen.”
The100.io concept: players select when they want to play, their timezone, age and whether they’re “serious” or “casual” before being automatically grouped with 100 other like-minded players. Says VG247 publisher Patrick Garratt: “We believe this partnership with The100.io is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in The Division’s community from the very start. The Division shows all the signs of being a great success across all formats in the coming years, and The100.io is the best LFG tool we’ve seen yet. We have high hopes for the results of this deal.”
The Division’s closed beta begins this week, with the full game launching for Xbox One, PS4 and PC on March 8, 2016.
VG247 launched in February 2008, and covers gaming news.
