"The Division" is still quite some time away with its current alpha testing ongoing. New gameplay videos of the Xbox One version recently emerged at the Neogaf forums, offering a look at the game in development.

According to a report from GameSpot, the leak took place despite the non-disclosure agreement that did not allow players to post media or share their experiences in public or online. Because of this strict precaution from Ubisoft, the unofficial game footages are expected to be taken down soon.

Besides these leaked videos, Ubisoft has also unveiled an official live action trailer that's dubbed "Silent Night." The holiday-themed video featured a child singing a bleak version of "Silent Night" in the midst of gunshots and warfare.

"Please save what can be saved," the child intoned to the tune of the Christmas classic. "Bring back the world that we loved."

In an email interview with Forbes, Ubisoft's Lead Environmental Artist Sebastian Lindoff and Technical Art Director Chad Chatterton shared more about the different qualities of the game including its day and night cycles, weather patterns,

"You can choose when to play any of the missions, night or day, with clear weather or during a snow blizzard," the developer explained, highlighting player choice in the shooter RPG. "We only restrict some of the heaviest fog settings in some missions because it could adversely affect too much the combat balancing, but all the other weather settings can have an impact on how you approach an encounter, varying the levels of visibility for you and your enemies."

They added, "We want the world of The Division to feel like a true, breathing open world, so elements interact naturally. So if you approach a mission at night and you think it may compromise your success, you simply have to wait another time of day to go ahead and approach that challenge."

Because the weather is based on math algorithms, it is completely dynamic and unpredictable in the game and can even change in the middle of missions. However, Ubisoft pointed out that every character in the game is affected by the weather conditions -- players and enemies alike.

"So even if weather doesn't physically slow players down, it certainly impacts on what you can see and how you read the environment," the Ubisoft representatives pointed out. "For instance, if you usually have a "sniper" approach, you may reconsider going into a mission while it's heavily snowing."

"The Division" for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC is expected to be launched on March 8, 2016. The beta will be released in early 2016, open to all players who pre-ordered the actual game.
