Ubisoft lists The Division Heartland as coming soon

The second mode Excursion Operations is a player versus environment mode where agents complete missions and gather gear. There will also be six agents and three classes that the players can choose from for each match. Each class will have its own unique perks and skills.

Twitter user @Mr_Rebs_ has also shared screenshots of the game. One screenshot looks to be agents fighting in a PvEvP environment while another is a team versus some NPCs.

There is a reply to his tweet that the game will be similar to the Dark Zone in The Division but on a smaller scale. Anyone familiar with The Division knows that the Dark Zone or DZ is a PvEvP area of the game where players venture into to get the best loot and fight higher tiers of enemies. Players killed in the DZ will lose all of their items.

Longtime Division players have speculated that Heartland will be taking elements of the Dark Zone as part of its core gameplay. The DZ has been a large part of the reason why players continue to play The Division 1 & 2 as it provides a challenging mode even for seasoned gamers. Ubisoft Forward Heartland will surely take elements of The Division's Dark Zone game mode.

The Ubisoft Forward event will take place on the 10th. The showcase event will feature some of the games that Ubisoft is currently working on which should have been announced in the now-canceled E3. Fans are expecting Assassin's Creed Mirage to be one of the show's highlights. We should also get more information about the upcoming release of the much-delayed Skull & Bones.

With the unexpected listing of The Division Heartland, we can expect it at the showcase. It should have a more specific release window now that we're almost halfway into the current fiscal year.
