Read on for an update from Alain Corre, executive director of Ubisoft EMEA.

While work continues on The Division 2, other Ubisoft teams have been exploring additional ways to introduce The Division to even more players. 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. The game will be made available in 2021-22 on PC, consoles, and cloud. Those interested in participating in its early test phases can sign up here.

Heartland isn’t the only new game in development. The Division will also be coming to mobile platforms for the very first time, bringing the universe to an even wider audience. We’ll have more details on this exciting project at a later date.

As previously announced, brand new content will be coming to The Division 2, with development led by Ubisoft Massive and support from Ubisoft Bucharest. While it’s still too early to discuss any specific details, this update will include an entirely new game mode for The Division franchise and new methods for levelling your agents with an emphasis on increasing build variety and viability. We look forward to revealing more later this year ahead of this content’s late 2021 release.

And if that’s not enough, we also have The Division film in development with Netflix thanks to Ubisoft Film & Television. Inspired by the events of the original game, the film will star Jessica Chastain and Jake Gyllenhaal, and we recently announced that Rawson Marshall Thurber is at the helm as director.

That’s what they said to Fortnite, and look at it now!

Okay okey, I know what you’re thinking, I am thinking the same way!

How about we go back to the Splinter Cell universe

A linear, non-bloated Splinter Cell game seemingly didn’t lead to this...

So if SC ever makes a comeback, expect it to come in the form of typical Ubisoft game...

But the mass loves that shit, and sorry for being the bearer of bad news, but...

With more games going F2P, subscriptions for online gaming or rental gaming are threatened.

If they continue to support the division 2,then why would Division 2 players want from the f2p version?

Both (The Division and Heartland) are my equal favorites but right now I'm addicted to PUBG because of the features like graphics, settings, maps, players count, and also it is a cross-platform game. But waiting for the division 2 crossplay update also. If you can update me when the crossplay update is coming.
