The Division Heartland is a free to play spin-off coming this year

In a surprise update released last night, Ubisoft announced that it is working on a new game in The Division franchise. We aren't getting The Division 3 yet, but Ubisoft is making a free to play spin-off title. 

Known as ‘The Division Heartland', this is a new game set in The Division universe developed by Red Storm Studio. Heartland will be a standalone game, so prior knowledge of The Division 1 and 2 won't be required to jump in.

The Division Heartland will be making its way to PC and consoles in late 2021 or early 2022. In addition, Ubisoft Massive is working on new content for The Division 2, which will begin rolling out later this year. There is also a mobile version of The Division on the way.

Unfortunately, that's all the information we have for the time being, but we should hear more in the coming months. Ubisoft will be attending E3 in June, during which we'll see announcements for many upcoming projects.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
