The free-to-play PC and console game The Division Heartland might be close to being released. Twitter user Kuraksis posted a snapshot of the game’s rating from the Taiwanese rating board. The listing went live a couple of weeks ago, and the Taiwanese rating board usually rates new releases between two and two and a half months before their launch on the market. As such, we might be looking at an early 2024 debut for The Division Heartland.
Ubisoft originally announced the game in May 2021. It’s being developed by Red Storm Entertainment, the North Carolina-based studio known for working on countless Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon games, though most recently they’ve dabbled in Virtual Reality projects such as Star Trek: Bridge Crew and the newly released Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR.
Testing on The Division Heartland has been ongoing for a while, but the team must be readying for the game’s release. Check out an overview of the game’s features below.
Save America’s Heartland
What’s happening in Silver Creek? Uncover the mystery before a new breed of poison spreads everywhere. Follow the expanding story to discover why this once peaceful town has become the center of a violent conflict between a group of dangerous rogue Division agents and an aggressive band of nomadic survivors. But the AI factions and other player squads aren’t the only danger…
Explore by Day. Survive the Night.
In a single play session, experience both the challenge and exploration of daytime and the thrill and intensity of nightfall. During the day explore and complete critical objectives, scavenge for materials and supplies, and face off against dangerous enemies. When day turns to night the stakes heighten and new enemies appear. Avoid the increasingly volatile contamination, fight your way through rogue NPCs, and take on newly hostile players.
Extract or Die
Risk your arsenal and supplies every time you venture out into Silver Creek. Keep moving to survive enemy conflict, dehydration and the lethal contamination that’s overtaken the town. Tackle a variety of goals while building up your armory at your Base of Operations (BOO). Each successful operation in The Division Heartland allows you to complete more missions and unlock unique abilities, new map areas, and crucial functions at your base. Die before you extract… and come back empty-handed.
Survive the Dynamic Contamination
The virus moves differently here, unpredictably, almost with a mind of its own. Though extremely dangerous, you can use the contamination to your advantage. Risk vital seconds inside the cloud for the chance to grab precious loot gear and items left behind by other The Division Heartland players. Just make sure you have ample filters to survive. If the virus sickness sets in, return to base before it kills you.
