Ubisoft’s free-to-play survival shooter, The Division Heartland, still doesn’t have a release date yet. However, it did get a new trailer with the cinematic intro, talking about Killian Tower, who disavowed the Division and killed his team. It’s also about the setting, Silver Creek, which has suffered due to the Green Poison virus in different ways.
Throughout the shooter, there are new characters and storylines. As players explore and gather resources during the day, Rogue players and AI attack at night. There are three classes to choose from – Weapons Expert, Survivalist and Medic – with unique properties. Overall, it should look familiar to players of the looter shooters, even if the gameplay loop is different.
Sign-ups for the next phase of closed beta testing are now available, with more news to come this Summer. Stay tuned for further updates in the coming months, potentially at the next Ubisoft Forward on June 12th.
