You get to bring your buddies along to New York, which needs all of its Agents to get out onto its streets stat. The city is under threat, if the first game is any indication, and it’s up to you and your allies to stop it.

Of course, you’re going to want to look your best as you embark on intense battles, and the game offers extensive customization options to make your character truly feel like an extension of you. A unique look also makes you easier to find in crowded battlefields, the likes of which are looking like an everyday thing in this one. The gunplay looks quite good as well, which can make combat feel quite immersive as you tear through enemy ranks with calculated precision.

The Division: Resurgence could be just what you need to scratch that itch until the monster that is The Division 3 finally makes its way into your hands. While the latter still doesn’t have a release window almost three years later, fans shouldn’t worry, even if executive producer Julian Gerighty is no longer at the helm.

In a statement on Twitter, Massive acknowledged that it would miss Gerighty but that “his mark will live on.” “We’ll continue to bring the world he’s been part of creating to our players for years to come. Julian, your legacy is part of this studio and remember: Once an Agent, always an Agent.”

Regarding his departure, Gerighty said on his own profile, “It’s time for me to hang up my go bag (keeping the watch) as I go on another grand adventure. The Division’s future burns bright, and I can’t wait for you to discover what the teams have been working on.”

Gerighty became series executive producer back in 2023, having been busy with directing Star Wars Outlaws. He would announce The Division 3 at the same time, though there haven’t been any other details since.

Of course, given his importance, there may be some concern about the project’s status. The Division 2 also has plenty of content coming up, from Year 8 and the new Realism Mode in the upcoming Anniversary Season to the new Survivors mode. That’s not even accounting for The Division Resurgence on mobiles. Massive’s response? “Don’t worry.”

“Our teams who built this world with Julian are still here, carrying it forward with an ambitious, unchanged commitment for the future.” True enough, creative director Yannick Banchereau is still going strong on The Division 2, even teasing some more surprises for the future. Meanwhile, Survivors is led by Magnus Jansén, previously responsible for The Division 1’s Survival DLC (which arguably pioneered the extraction genre).

The Division 3 doesn’t have a release date or platforms, but we’re expected to learn more about The Division 2’s next year of content this March. It’s also possible that The Division gets a Definitive Edition, based on a banner spotted at FPSDay in Japan.

The story is separate from The Division 1 and 2, taking place before the first game in New York City. As part of the First Wave of the Strategic Homeland Division – which would later infamously make up some of the most dangerous Rogue Agents – players meet new and returning characters. The Base of Operations in Manhattan is unchanged, and the signature cover-based gameplay is retained.

Key differences include the UI, completely reworked for mobile devices, and the Specializations. Along with some new Specializations like Vanguard, each has its unique abilities. The Demolitionist, for instance, gains access to the Seeker Mine. Navrez also confirmed that players can change Specializations whenever they want, allowing them to shift their play style to adapt to their team’s needs.

While designed for shorter sessions, The Division Resurgence facilitates 2-3 hour sessions as well. It’s also confirmed that the closed alpha would begin this month. Head here to sign-up for the same.

With a campaign independent from The Division 1 and 2, Resurgence is set after the Green Virus causes the collapse of America. As part of the first wave of the Strategic Homeland Division, players battle enemy factions and help civilians survive. With controls and a UI built for mobile, the title offers solo and co-op play with various activities like story missions.

You’ll collect loot, craft and install mods to strengthen your character. Leveling up also unlocks new gadgets and signature weapons along with Specializations. Each Specialization is alluded to as offering new abilities that fall into specific roles.

The Division Resurgence doesn’t have a release date but closed alpha sign-ups are currently live for iOS and Android.
