Ubisoft showcases The Division Heartland in a developer deep dive

Heartlands is a sandbox PvPvE experience where players can team up to achieve common goals as well as hunt down other players. Agents will also have to survive against AI combatants which makes teaming up a good idea. The game will have a handful of different survival elements like managing virus filters for masks and water to combat dehydration. Players will need to make sure that they have enough supplies to run a full day of exploration within the game area. Loot can be found everywhere and there will be a need for inventory management.

Players can congregate in the shared Base of Operations, allowing them to prep up for missions and socialize. The base is also where players get to manage their loadouts for incursions into the contaminated areas of Silver Creek.

The Division Heartland will have a class system similar to the one in The Division 2. Players can choose between the Weapons Expert, Medic, and Survivalist. Each class will have its own unique ability, and it will be essential for team members to communicate effectively in order to survive the harsh battlefield.

Players can participate in an upcoming closed beta test for The Division Heartland for PC. Ubisoft also revealed that more information will be shared on the game this summer. The title is being developed by Red Storm Entertainment and will be using the proprietary Snow Drop engine featured in the first two games.

The Division Heartland does not have a release date yet but will be coming to the PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
