It was announced during Ubisoft's E3 2013 press conference, and was released worldwide on 8 March 2016. Along with its release, Ubisoft's Tom Clancy's The Division season pass has revealed three expansions.

• The first expansion pack is called "Underground" and it allows players to discover the Big Apple with a four-player team as the maximum number.
• The second expansion pack, "Survival," involves a mini-campaign, which will be accessible to players who have already accomplished the game's principal storyline; thus, its primary goal is to test the skills of advanced players.
• The third and final DLC is the "Last Stand." Since it is the last to be released, details about it are limited at the moment. 

However, only US players can get Tom Clancy's The Division expansion pack. If you are not in the US, resort to a USA VPN. We recommend use a free USA VPN, enough for getting the expansion pack. Follow the steps to get a free USA VPN:

1. Download free VPN Client.

Getting an European IP Address Outside Europe

As a resident of Europe, there are many benefits that you enjoy online by virtue of your IP address that many people in other countries do not. But you may not realize this until you have packed your bags and taken that flight out of Europe for your vacation or business trip. When you are making arrangements for travel, it is highly likely that you will not consider the internet connectivity issues that you will encounter when abroad. The most important aspect of your internet is your IP address and to keep a European IP address while abroad, you will require to use a Virtual private Network (VPN-FlyVPN: https://www.flyvpn.com). If you do not understand how to go about that, don't worry, below we will tell you exactly how to go about it.

Why is it necessary to maintain a European IP address when abroad?

When you travel abroad, you will realize that not all countries allow access to your favorite sites. Some countries do not allow residents to access sites like Facebook or twitter. Other countries do not allow access to news sites like BBC and CNN.

Entertainment sites like Netflix are also likely to inaccessible when you get out of Europe. This means that for the period you are abroad, you will not be able to follow episodes of your favorite TV shows on Netflix, for example- unless you have a way to get a European IP address when abroad. But that is not all; you will also find that your online bank accounts and shopping sites are unavailable when you are in some countries. Now, what is more depressing than being stuck in a foreign land with no way to access your money?

A simple way to get European IP address when abroad

The easiest way to get a European IP address from outside Europe is by using a VPN service. What a VPN does is that it connects you to the World Wide Web through its servers such that you have the freedom to choose an European IP address from a list of available IP addresses.

When you travel abroad, remember that your VPN subscription is just as important as you pack. Do not suffer when there are providers like FlyVPN who can help you use and enjoy your internet just like you would if you were at home.

How can I circumvent regional restrictions to play Android Games from abroad

Mobile games, especially Android games is quickly becoming popular. More and more gamers prefer to play Android online games than PC games. But you may meet error message as "unable to connect to server", "unavailable in your region"...etc due to IP filtering. As I know, there are IP filtering in Japan, Korea, US and Taiwan android games. If you want to play Android games from abroad with friends, use a VPN to get countries' IP address.

How to play online android games with VPN

I think most of android games have IP filetering though I haven't tested by myself. Use FlyVPN to fix it. It provides trial VPN servers in USA, Korea, China, Japan, Hongkong, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, UK, Germany, Spain, Russia, France, Turkey, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Argentina, Egypt, Mexico and Brazil on android. So you can play any Android games from foreign countries.

Obtain Trial VPN account and password: https://www.flyvpn.com/freetrial. Though there is some limitations for trial version. I think it is very useful for guys who don't use VPN often and just want to use VPN to bypass circumvent for just several minutes.

How to access other countries Google Play Store

1. Start the VPN app and launch the VPN.
2. Go in Settings, Applications, Google Play Store, clear data.
3. Open the Google Play Store app : it will be re-loading and pop-up a confirmation window, says "By using Google Play, you agree to the ... ", just accept it and you can see a new Play Store without restriction.
4. Turn OFF VPN and go back on the Play Store. You can then download the apps you want. The status without restriction of Play Store can retain till next reboot of the app or of your device.

You have to do again this process if you want to change again the Play Store country.

Top 10 strategy games on PC

Strategy games are a vital part of the PC's heritage. Whether you favour real-time bouts or brainy turn-based simulations, great strategy games throw you into uniquely massive scenarios that let you rule empires, control spacefaring races, and marshal cavalry charges against armies of hundreds. While there is not always the thrill of the fight, there is often a deep satisfaction achieved from outsmarting both other players and particularly AI.

As Steam's leading competitor, Origin provides huge collection of games, including some exclusive titles such as Battlefield and Need for Speed. You may find the interesting feature that games on Origin store can be cheaper depending on where you buy them or, even better, where you appear to buy them from. Yes, different Origin Stores give different prices.

I applied some exercise and compared their prices by using a free VPN. Took a look at the games over the USA, Australia and Mexican stores. And find Mexico is Origin cheapest country. When you purchase a game from Origin, it is automatically added to the My Games library. So the Mexico VPN is needed when you buy EA Origin games for cheap. You can then play it on any computer with your own IP.

Game                            Origin US     Origin Australia    Origin Mexico

Battlefield 4                   $9.99            $9.99                   $6.49

Origin servers will identify our country from IP address and redirect we to our country's store, so we can't directly access the Mexican store. To circumvent this, we use a Mexico VPN for cheap Origin game. Now go on to the guide.

How can I play game one day before its release date

With the clocks close to release of a game at your region, players living in other regions may have managed pick up the game and already playing it. The wait is so frustrating. Then how can I play the game as early as the others? Well, you can engage in some magic internet trickery - that's using a VPN. VPN allows you bypass the regional block to play games early.

Origin and Steam are the popular digital game stores/platforms. They offer a catalog of PC, Mac, and Linux games, and allows using VPN to change time zones. For the world release games, we usually tricky the Steam game that we are in New Zealand. The process simply involves changing one's region in Steam/Origin to New Zealand and get a free New Zealand IP address through VPN settings.

Here I list some questions you may meet when using VPN unlock games:

• Q: Will my account be banned for doing this? A: No!
• Q: Do I need to buy a VPN? A: No, there are lots of free trial VPNs.
• Q: What if my VPN have time limit? A: VPN is needed only at the beginning and at the end of the downloading. So free VPN is enough to unlock games early.
• Q: Which region should I change to? A: New Zealand will be the first territory to enter into a new day. So you can change your location to New Zealand.
• Q: Do i need to keep on VPN connection when playing the game? A: No, after unlock and launch the game, put steam into offline mode, and disable the VPN. 
• Q: What if the countdown timer don't change even after I use the VPN? A: Reload the page or search the game from Google and re-enter the page.
• Q: How to speed up the downloading? A: Switch off the VPN, go back to your own Network after 5 - 10 minutes downloading.
• Q: Does this work for PS4/XBOXONE? A: No, sadly.
