The Division 2 – it received’t be the final one (Picture: Ubisoft)In a surprisingly lowkey announcement, Ubisoft has revealed work has begun on The Division 3 nevertheless it’s years away from launch.
For some time there it regarded like there wasn’t going to be a Division 3. There’s a reside service tackle the franchise in improvement, subtitled Heartland, however after The Division 2 proved a disappointment it appeared like Ubisoft would possibly simply go away it at that.
They’re not going to, however their announcement of The Division 3 is as lowkey as you may presumably get. Rather than the sport itself, they despatched out a press launch about Star Wars Outlaws inventive director Julian Gerighty being made govt producer of the whole The Division model.
Then, as if the information was already recognized, they only causally talked about that The Division 3 is at the moment in improvement.
‘As govt producer, Julian Gerighty will oversee all The Division video games and merchandise, together with Tom Clancy’s The Division 3, led by Massive Entertainment who’s actively constructing a group for the sport,’ is all that Ubisoft has mentioned on the matter.
There’s no indication of when the sport may be launched but when a group is barely being constructed up now then it have to be within the very earliest phases, and at the least three to 5 years away from launch.
That alone explains the brevity of the announcement, particularly as developer Massive Entertainment already has two, nicely… large tasks on the go in the intervening time.
The Far Cry-esque Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora is due out this December, whereas fellow licensed recreation Star Wars Outlaws is due someday subsequent yr, after which Massive can focus solely on The Division 3 (Heartland is being made by Red Storm Entertainment).

Ubisoft insists that Gerighty ‘stays absolutely dedicated’ to Star Wars Outlaws and can stay on the undertaking ‘by way of launch.’ Although clearly his consideration goes to be divided to at the least a point.
Although The Division 2 underperformed in accordance with Ubisoft’s personal metrics, it nonetheless managed to promote over 10 million copies, which is so much and will surely assure a sequel below regular circumstances.
Whether there’ll be a serious change in route for the sequence, to attempt and make sure the third recreation does higher, stays to be seen, however Heartland ought to present the primary clues, even when we now have to attend a number of years to see The Division 3 in public.
