The free to play The Division Heartland reveals its ambitions with the first gameplay excerpts. A new episode that doesn’t look cheap, at least in its intentions.
Ubisoft is in the process of building a catalog of free-to-play games based on new franchises but also on already established licenses. As with Tom Clancy’s The Division Heartland, which benefits from its first presentation.
The first steps of The Division Heartland in the video
Free-to-play standalone game The Division Heartland finally announces its news. Developed at the premises of Red Storm Entertainment, a studio that has worked on the series since The Division, this free-to-play episode is the canon of the franchise. It will introduce new characters and new storylines while offering a brand new and familiar experience.
This installment is a survival focused multiplayer title set in Silver Creek. The player must protect the city from enemy factions, renegades and deadly epidemics.
Once a peaceful town in the American Midwest, Silver Creek was completely abandoned after the green poison epidemic. Players play as loyal Division agents scattered across the land, responding to a call for help. Fighting alongside or against other trained Division agents, players will explore the mysteries of Silver Creek and bring hope to what remains of this small American town.
In this first video, the experience actually looks true to the original, although the visuals look a lot less finished. Red Storm, on the other hand, announces the color. They will listen to the community and incorporate player feedback as it comes. Registration for the closed tests takes place at this address.
The Division Heartland will be available in 2022/2023 on consoles, PC and cloud platforms (Amazon Luna/Stadia).
