    What’s going on with this series? They announced The Division 3, Division 2 has an expansion planned for 2025 and I just played The Division Heartland beta 6 months ago which I assume will be out in 2024. That’s a lot of simple math.

      The Division 3 wasn’t technically announced, it was just mentioned during an investor press release. I wouldn’t expect it to release for at least another 5 years. The Division Heartland is a spin-off PvPvE survival shooter, akin to the Survival mode from The Division 1.

      Personally, I’m glad they’re continuing support for Division 2 as the game’s right up my alley as far the kinds of games I like. If they’re putting this kind of TLC into it, then they likely have more content planned than whatever is slated for 2025.

        I played through the first Division game and enjoyed it pretty well for what it was. I met some cool people online and we would team up fairly regularly.

        I wish I would have gotten into Division 2. But it sounds like I still can!

          There are still people actively playing the game, and the endgame is in a pretty good spot overall imo. I would definitely keep an eye out this holiday season and nab it when it goes on sale. Go get 'em, agent!
          Edit: I just checked Steam and it’s currently 70% off.

          I miss Division 1, the atmosphere in that game is so freaking good. The snow and wind combination.

          It makes me sad that they didn’t give it a 60FPS patch for PS5. And I refuse to pay again for the Steam version.

            I agree that Division 1 had a better atmosphere. The snow covering the ruined city gave a bleak and oppressive tone, which was a much better fit for the theme of the game.
