A representative for Massive Entertainment, which is developing The Division, told IGN that the team cut the companion app because it "created an imbalance" that compromised the gameplay. The app was originally announced when the open-world, online RPG was unveiled in 2013.The Division companion app was supposed to allow a person with a tablet the ability to assist other players or become a troll. For example, the mobile app would allow for you to control a drone and offer armor buffs to console players.Even without the companion app, The Division will have a beta later this year on Xbox One and early in 2016 on PC and PlayStation 4. The open-world, online RPG is set to officially launch March 8 For more on the game, be sure to check out IGN's E3 hands-on preview of The Division
