A surprise crossover betweenTom Clancy’sThe Divisionand the gacha gameGirls' Frontlineis happening soon. Fans of the anime strategy game app and Ubisoft’s online third person shooter,The Division, can finally combine their favorite series.
Girls' Frontlineinvolves players, or Commanders, taking control of signature T-Dolls earnedthrough gacha features. By gathering up a group of soldiers, Commanders can send these echelons into the field to complete various objectives. From combat missions to simulations, players can enjoy turn-based strategy puzzles and androids with guns.

Now, developer MICA Team is collaborating with Ubisoft to bring the universe ofThe Divisionto the app game. The event will be known as “Bounty Feast” and places Commanders and their T-Dolls in New York City during a deadly pandemic. By exploringthe Manhattan map, gamers can unlock all kinds of content relating to Ubisoft’s online shooter. The event will include storytelling and feature elements fromThe Division’s map inGirls' Frontline. There will even be supply box bundles to gather useful weaponry and special rare T-Dolls to acquire.
That is not all though, as Bounty Feast will also introduce two new T-Dolls to the roster. Fans can look forward to the SMG-wielding Agent Vector, and Agent 416 who uses an Assault rifle. Both have a basis on existing characters, but come complete with new kits to learn. These abilities add Mobile Cover to shield allies and sticky bombs that explode for serious damage. The app game, which is available for Android and iOS, will start the event on February 2.
Despite the exterior of anime girls with guns, this does seem like a crossover with some potential. The gritty nature ofThe Divisionworks well with theheavy weaponry and gearavailable inGirls' Frontline. With new missions, T-Dolls, and rare unlocks to discover, fans of the app game will have plenty to do when Bounty Feast begins. Plus, adding in new playstyles should shake up Commander strategy for the new event.
However, it does seem strange that the crossover is with the firstDivisiongame. With the original release happening five years ago, it is unlikely that there are too many players left enjoying the first game. Some may wonder why the event does notinvolve theThe Division 2, which is set in Washington D.C. With the turbulence of a current pandemic in real life, gamers currently playing the sequel may have hopped in for some strategy-puzzle action. While it is great that MICA Team is adding two new T-Dolls, it could be disappointing to some fans that both additions are familiar faces. In any case, the crossover event should be fun for those who like both series.
Tom Clancy’s The Divisionis available now on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
