The Division series executive producer Julian Gerighty appeared in a new interview for the New Game+ Showcase to talk about The Division 2: Survivors. And while that’s all well and good, he dropped a bit of information on the long-awaited sequel, The Division 3.
“So, The Division 3 is in production, right? This is not a secret. It’s been announced. It’s shaping up to be a monster. I can’t really say anything more than that.” Announced in 2023, there haven’t been any reveals or updates, other than Gerighty shifting focus from Star Wars Outlaws to work on it in 2024. While we’ll have to wait longer for new details, at least it’s making progress.
As for The Division 2: Survivors, the goal is to transform the entire Washington D.C. map with a snowstorm, resulting in a different experience from the base game (where the weather didn’t really impact the gameplay). Gerighty teased that the title hints at what the mode is about, but wouldn’t venture any further.
The team is keen on leaning into the comfort aspects, like the controls and map knowledge, and subverting them to engage veterans. Development is led by creative director Magnus Jansén, the main man behind The Division 1’s Survival, which Survivors is based on, but there’s still no word on a release date.
As for The Division Resurgence, one interesting little tidbit: Players can actually meet and squad up in the mobile title’s open world, a first for the franchise. It’s scheduled to launch by March 31st, 2026, according to Ubisoft’s last fiscal report.
It’s exciting to hear the insights from Julian Gerighty about The Division 3! The anticipation for how the game will evolve is definitely building. Looking forward to seeing what new features and improvements are in store!
