Tom Clancy's The Division Heartland is an upcoming free-to-play third person shooter action game developed by Red Storm Entertainment and published by Ubisoft. It is a standalone spin-off set in The Division universe. Heartland is set to be released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Amazon Luna.

Gameplay

Unlike the first two games in the series, Heartland is set in rural America and the fictional town of Silver Creek.[1] The game features two major game modes. The first mode, "Storm Operations", is a player-versus-player-versus-environment mode which can support a maximum of 45 players. In this mode, players must fend off against agents from a rogue faction known as the Vultures while surviving a virus. The second mode is named Excursion Operations, a player-versus-environment mode in which players can complete missions and collect loot/gear. At launch, the game features three character classes (weapons expert, medic, or survivalist) and six playable characters.[2]

In addition, the game incorporate elements from survival games. For instance, players need to manage their hydration level.[1] Contamination Zones replace the Dark Zones from previous games. The location of the Contamination Zones in the game is always shifting. Players need to use breathing filters in order to access these areas, but the loot they will receive will be much more valuable. The game also features a day-night cycle. The artificial intelligence of the enemies in the game will be more alert at night.[3]

Development

Red Storm Entertainment led the development of the free-to-play title, while RedLynx and Ubisoft Romania provided assistance. According to Keith Edwards, the game's creative director, Heartland will feature "streamlined survival gameplay".[4] The game was officially announced in May 2021. It is set to be released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Amazon Luna. An open beta would be released prior to the game's official launch.[5] By playing Heartland, players would also receive rewards in Tom Clancy's The Division 2 and the mobile game Tom Clancy's The Division Resurgence.[3]
