Tom Clancy’s The Division: Heartland is the name of a standalone free-to-play game announced by Ubisoft for new-gen as well as last-gen consoles, apart from PC. The game is being developed by veterans at Red Storm Entertainment, the folks behind a number of Ubisoft’s Ghost Recon offerings. You can already sign up for its early test phase.
No details about Tom Clancy’s The Division: Heartland have been announced yet though. However, considering it’s a free-to-play offering, it isn’t hard to imagine this spin-off to have a battle royale theme to counter Call of Duty: Warzone’s popularity. It’s slated to hit intended platforms sometime in 2021. Apart from this, a mobile version of The Division is also in development from Ubisoft, but again, no details are available.
“Today, we’re pleased to share that Tom Clancy’s The Division Heartland, a free-to-play game set in The Division universe, is in development at our Red Storm studio. Having worked on Tom Clancy games since 1997, its extensive experience across numerous genres and games, most recently The Division and The Division 2, makes Red Storm a perfect fit for this project. Heartland is a standalone game that doesn’t require previous experience with the series but will provide an all new perspective on the universe in a new setting,” Alain Corre, executive director of Ubisoft EMEA said in a blog post.
There’s much more The Division content on its way to fans. A film based on the franchise is currently in pre-production, with We’re the Millers director Rawson Marshall Thurber helming the project. Jessica Chastain and Jake Gyllenhaal star in this upcoming Netflix film. The Division will also take the form of an original novel that has its story set after the events of The Division 2.
