We have been waiting on The Division Heartland for quite a while now and it looks like the game is finally ready to be released. The free-to-play extraction shooter has been rated and is likely preparing for an early 2024 launch.
The upcoming The Division spin-off was rated PG-15 by the Taiwanese rating board earlier this month due to violence, inappropriate language, and anti-society themes. The upcoming game has been rated on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
The information on the rating was first shared by Kurakasis on X. In the tweet, the leaker said that games are rated in Taiwan around 2 and a half months before their planned release date. Ubisoft may be planning a soft launch or open beta for Heartland in early 2024.
Kurakasis did acknowledge Ubisoft's tendency to internally delay its upcoming releases. The user cites XDefiant as one example of a game that has already been rated but has been delayed. The leaker adds, "I remember Silent Hill: The Short Message receiving a rating in Taiwan last year, and it's still not even announced, but it was a misunderstanding, and that's why it has been deleted since.
The Division Heartland was announced in May 2021 and was initially scheduled for release in 2021-2022. The game was delayed several times and Ubisoft went quiet on the release window. However, earlier this year, the developers, Red Storm Entertainment released a trailer and developer deep dive video on the upcoming extraction shooter, giving fans more details about what to expect with the title.
