The Division 3 Will Have as Big of an Impact as First Division; “Shaping Up to Be a Monster” Claims Producer
The Division 3 was announced in September 2023, and here we are two years later, with not even a screenshot to pore over. Thankfully, there is some good news, as Ubisoft has confirmed the game is still in active development.
This was confirmed by The Division 3 Executive Producer Julian Gerighty in the New Game+ Showcase.
While Gerighty wasn’t able to give more gameplay details, he did add that they are working “extremely hard” on the looter shooter.
The Division 3 Is Still in Active Development, and Will Have “Big Impact” as The Div 1
Speaking at the New Games+ Showcase, Gerighty shared, “So, The Division 3 is in production, right? This is not a secret.
It’s been announced. It’s shaping up to be a monster. I can’t really say anything more than that. But this is within these walls in Massive. We are working extremely hard on something that I think will be as big an impact as Division 1 was.”
Gerighty shifted focus from Star Wars Outlaws (also developed by Massive) to The Division 3 last year. Hopefully we hear more about the sequel this year, and if Gerighty’s statement rings true, then looter shooter fans are in for a treat.
The Division 1 was received warmly when it was released, and it was something we haven’t really seen before in 2016. While the sequel (The Division 2) wasn’t as accepted warmly by fans, Massive Entertainment continued to toil away at it, until it hit the state it’s in now.
Support for that game isn’t even done yet, as the “Survivors” project was announced last year, and unless something drastic happens, we should see it released sometime this year. If I had to hazard a guess, the Survivors content will be The Division 2’s swan song, with The Division 3 taking center stage after it — at least one can hope.
Will we get a Year 8 roadmap for The Division 2? I’d say the chances are high, and once we know more about it, expect it here on MP1st.

I doubt it. Ubisoft is washed.
