Ubisoft has unveiled The Division 2: Survivors, a new game described as “an updated take on the survival extraction experience,” as it kicks off The Division’s 10th anniversary celebrations. The announcement was made at Gamescom.
Magnus Jansén, a veteran of the original Division, is serving as the creative director for The Division 2: Survivors, which is currently in the early stages of development. Ubisoft is prioritizing transparency and community involvement throughout the development process. Executive producer Julian Gerighty emphasized the importance of community engagement, stating, “The Division 2: Survivors is as much your baby as it is ours, and we strive for transparency during its development. Clear communication and community involvement are a focus as we build the new experience, and we will be closely involving you as we move forward on the development journey.”
Although no in-game artwork or screenshots were revealed, Ubisoft shared several pieces of concept art to give fans a glimpse into the game’s development. The release date for The Division 2: Survivors is currently listed as TBA.
In addition to The Division 2: Survivors, Ubisoft is refreshing its Elite Task Program, inviting “committed players” to engage directly with the development team and help guide the future of the Division. This initiative aims to gather player feedback and incorporate it into the game’s development, ensuring that the community’s voice is heard.
Ubisoft is also making progress on The Division Resurgence, a free-to-play mobile RPG shooter. The game is currently seeking participants for closed tests on both iOS and Android platforms. According to Ubisoft, The Division Resurgence offers “the same gameplay experience as the Division games adapted to mobile gaming.” The game features a familiar map that has been updated to reflect the passage of time and is designed to bridge the narrative gap between Division 1 and 2, adding to the existing lore with additional story beats over time.
Both The Division 2: Survivors and The Division Resurgence demonstrate Ubisoft’s commitment to expanding The Division universe and actively involving the community in its ongoing development. Players interested in participating in the Elite Task Program or the closed tests for The Division Resurgence can sign up for consideration.
