Ubisoft Massive is prepping for the release of The Division 2: Season 9. The Public Test Server for the new season is already available to pre-load and goes live tomorrow at 2 AM PT/5 AM ET. While the official release date has yet to be revealed, what’s interesting is the promise of a new mode.

According to leaks by GrumpierFaceman on Twitter, this may be related to The Division Heartland, the upcoming Escape from Tarkov-like spin-off. Allegedly called “Welcome Heartland”, it sees players taking “whatever” and facing off against each other. Die and you lose everything that was taken into the Zone. How this connects to the main game remains to be seen.

The Division Heartland is planned to release before April 2023 has had several details leak thus far (and could be due for an announcement as per insider Tom Henderson). In the meantime, Ubisoft Massive also revealed that the Specializations revamp for The Division 2 has been delayed out of Season 9. It’s still due to arrive in Year 4 so stay tuned for more details.
