Ubisoft simply introduced a brand new entry in its in style third-person tactical navy on-line looter shooter sequence, The Division. You most likely didn’t discover The Division 3 was revealed as a result of Ubisoft buried the information inside a company press launch asserting a brand new government producer for the “Division model,” confirming the corporate has huge plans for the sequence.
The primary recreation within the franchise, Tom Clancy’s The Division, launched in 2016 and advised the story of a organic terrorist assault in New York Metropolis that unfold a lethal virus through greenback payments. This horrible occasion activated a secret group of extremely skilled operatives, Division brokers, who grabbed some weapons and started killing each felony and barely harmful individual within the metropolis whereas ransacking residences for meals, garments, and uncommon weapons. In 2019, The Division 2 launched and continued the story however this time the capturing and looting occurred in Washington, DC. Since then, the franchise has introduced two video games however neither has been launched. And now Ubisoft has gone and finished it once more, this time confirming that it’s engaged on yet one more Division mission, a 3rd entry in the primary franchise.
The information of this new Division 3 didn’t come through a flashy CG trailer or some huge teaser at a press convention. As an alternative, it was quietly introduced on September 21 in a larger press release targeted on Julian Gerighty, the brand new government producer of the franchise. He was beforehand the affiliate inventive director on the primary recreation earlier than changing into the lead inventive director on the sequel. And now, in keeping with Ubisoft, he’s “setting his sights on” The Division 3 in addition to a “plethora of different initiatives set in The Division universe.”
We don’t know a lot about The Division 3
Ubisoft says Gerighty is constructing a workforce for The Division 3, which is able to as soon as once more be developed by Large Leisure. The writer additionally confirmed that it’ll proceed to assist The Division 2, as nicely. Past that, we don’t know way more about this just-announced sequel. And primarily based on what Ubisoft is saying right here, I’m undecided there’s a lot to announce because it sounds just like the mission is simply beginning growth.
“We could have over 40 million gamers,” mentioned Gerighty, “however The Division continues to be in its early years as a franchise. There are such a lot of unbelievable tales to inform, locations to discover, and other people to guard. “
Nevertheless, earlier than Gerighty can hop onto the Tom Clancy looter-shooter prepare, he has to complete up his work on a distinct mission: Star Wars: Outlaws. He’s at the moment the inventive director behind that upcoming open-world Star Wars journey, and received’t formally begin his duties as producer of The Division franchise till that recreation ships in 2024.
Whereas The Division 3 is probably going years away at this level, we all know there are not less than two different Division video games popping out sooner slightly than later.
First, The Division: Resurgence, a free-to-play cell shooter set in New York Metropolis. The opposite entry is The Division: Heartland, an extraction-like shooter set in the midst of the US and that includes extra rural environments and survival parts. Maybe someday sooner or later Ubisoft will cease asserting Division video games and truly launch one. We will see…
