The Division 3 has been officially announced for several years, but concrete information remains scarce. To mark the series’ tenth anniversary, Ubisoft is working on several projects in the Division universe at the same time. The third main installment is one of them, even if it has only been outlined in broad terms so far.
Announcement without a schedule
Ubisoft unveiled The Division 3 back in 2023. Since then, no release date or even a rough time frame has been announced. Even now, there are no indications as to when it might be released.
At the time of the announcement, Ubisoft stated that it was actively building a team for the project. This suggested that the game was still in an early stage of development at that point.
Development at Massive Entertainment
The development of The Division 3 is being led by Massive Entertainment. The studio was previously responsible for The Division and The Division 2 and most recently developed Star Wars: Outlaws.
Ubisoft usually relies on the collaboration of several internal studios for large productions. It is also assumed that Massive will lead the development of The Division 3, but will not implement it alone.
New role for Julian Gerighty
Julian Gerighty, co-director of the first two Division games, now serves as executive producer for the entire brand at Ubisoft. His job is to steer the series in a consistent direction.
In addition to The Division 3, his responsibilities also include other projects such as the mobile game The Division Resurgence. The previously announced free-to-play game The Division: Heartland, on the other hand, has been discontinued.
Statements on the scope of the game
During the New Game+ Showcase, Gerighty commented on the scope of the new title. He described The Division 3 as a project that is developing into a “monster.” He also explained that the third installment could have a similar impact to the first game in the series. He did not provide any further details or specific examples.
No trailer, no platforms
No trailer for The Division 3 has been released yet. There is also no official information about the target platforms. Ubisoft has not confirmed either PC or consoles.
Pre-orders are therefore not yet possible.
Story and setting still unknown
Ubisoft has not shared any information about the plot, setting, or characters of The Division 3. The first installment was set in a pandemic-stricken New York, while the second moved the action to Washington, D.C.
It is currently unknown whether the third installment will tie in with existing locations or choose a new setting.
The planned Division movie
In addition to the games, there is still an announced movie based on the Division universe. The project was presented many years ago, but no concrete progress has been communicated recently.
In the past, Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Chastain, among others, were in talks for leading roles. Several names were also mentioned for the director’s chair, but no confirmation has been given.
