The Division Day: Everything Announced for The Division 2, The Division Heartland, and The Division Resurgence

Today, Ubisoft hosted Division Day, a special event where the creative team behind The Division franchise gave a sneak peek at everything that's coming soon. The Division 2 team revealed their Year 5 roadmap and Season One: Broken Wings;  The Division Heartland made its cinematic debut; The Division Resurgence announced a new testing phase; and several other projects including an upcoming Webtoon and first look at unique action figures were revealed. Here's a roundup of everything covered during Ubisoft's Division Day showcase:

The Division Heartland, the upcoming free-to-play PvEvP, survival-action shooter, made its cinematic debut during the Division Day showcase, showing off the town of Silver Creek, teasing the enemy factions and mysterious virus players will face. The Division Heartland will go into Closed Beta later this year; if you want to be part of it, head over to thedivisionheartland.com to register for a chance to participate, as well as receive five friend invites.

The Division 2 Year 5 is coming soon, kicking things off with Season One: Broken Wings. There's a new Manhunt target: Mari Singh, the former director of the DC Aquarium. This time, the objective isn't to take out the target - it's to rescue the civilians that Natalya Sokolova and the Black Tusk have taken hostage. Players will need to continue rebuilding the Castle Settlement, which Singh had been using as her headquarters, and every person players rescue will unlock more of the story. Broken Wings also introduces a new game mode, Descent, to The Division 2. Descent is a free rogue-lite mode for up to four players, who start out without any of the gear, perks, or specializations available to them in the main game and are unlocked through progression; playing through the mode will also allow players to dive deeper into the secrets of the Black Tusk, The Division and more.

The rest of Year 5 will bring more seasons, each with their own Manhunts, Events, and Leagues. The upcoming seasons will introduce a new Incursion at the Meret Estate, a return to New York, and a new story DLC that includes new zones, main missions, and endgame structure. Different Apparel Events will also take place throughout Year 5, bringing new looks and old favorites back to The Division 2, as well as content inspired by other games, like Sam Fisher's iconic style and night vision goggles from Splinter Cell.

The Warlords of New York expansion is required to access most of this seasonal content, but the new Descent game mode is free for all players. Starting tomorrow, April 21, PC players can hop into the game's Public Test Server to check out Descent before Broken Wings' launch. Keep an eye out for a big sale on the Warlords of New York expansion, as well as a The Division 2 free weekend to try before you buy; meanwhile, there's a special in-game sale running now through May 2 offering discounts on select outfits, custom weapon skins, and emotes. For those of you who can't wait to dive into the action, The Division 2 is now on sale in select regions.
