The launch of Tom Clancy’s The Division back in 2016 marked the first completely original IP under the Tom Clancy umbrella since 2009, and the game broke multiple Ubisoft sales records. The franchise continued its development with Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 becoming one of the most successful games of 2019 and its 2020 expansion, Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 Warlords of New York, was the most active in the game’s history.

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.

This survival-action game will take Division Agents to a new rural location, the midwestern American town of Silver Creek. It's a quiet hamlet that has been ravaged by the Dollar Flu and become a hotbed of Division activity thanks to the secrets it hides. Select from a new roster of playable characters and explore the town as you fight alongside and against other players.

Explore and complete missions by day. Take on the dynamically moving contamination, enemy factions, and player squads by night.

Heartland takes players to Silver Creek, once a pleasant town in the American Midwest, left in ruins following the spread of the Dollar Flu. Silver Creek is a hostile environment filled with deadly contamination, roaming enemy hordes, and the looming threat of sickness and dehydration.

In The Division Heartland, and for the first time in The Division, Silver Creek’s Base of Operations is a shared space. Silver Creek’s Rockit Rink is an abandoned roller skating rink where players will be able to socialize, form a group, customize their character, and prep for the next Operation.

Each session begins and ends in the Base of Operations, and each time players exfiltrate they will take back materials and gear they’ve collected to better prepare them for future days in the town. Players will use the Base of Operations to fabricate supplies and ready their go-bag preparing for their time out in the town. Before each session, they can select between three Classes: Weapons Expert, Medic, and Survivalist. Each Class brings a unique ability, and in a squad, each truly shines when complemented by the others. When they venture out during the daytime, players will be scavenging for supplies as well as preparing to survive the night. At night, Silver Creek becomes much more tenuous, with PvEvP gameplay forcing players to think quick and potentially work together to make it out alive with their loot intact.

The team is taking a test-and-learn approach to building this game, continually conducting test phases and gathering player feedback before moving on to the next phase.

Players can sign up for future closed tests at thedivisionheartland.com.

Those who are invited to participate in closed tests will also receive five invites to share with friends.

The Division Heartland is in development for PC, console and cloud platforms.
