Free spin-off to The Division Almost Ready

Renowned industry leaker Tom Henderson has revealed that The Division: Heartland is nearing completion. The anonymous source reports that the free-to-play title will receive four gameplay modes, rather than two as originally expected.

While The Division 2 continues to receive updates (and strugge with various issues), work continues on a free-to-play shooter set in this universe - The Division: Heartland. In a new report on Try Hard Guides Tom Henderson presented some new details from anonymous sources who provided the leaker with, among other things, footage and images from the game.

Unfortunately, the journalist did not share the aforementioned evidence, but if his information is to be believed, it suggests that Red Storm's work may already be at a very advanced stage of development.

Game modes

Henderson also mentioned in his report that the free-to-play game will offer not two game modes, as initially claimed, but as many as four. According to the source they are to be: Excursion, Storm, Nightfall and Hunt.

  1. Excursion - PvE mode. Players will be forced to collect loot, plunder, explore the territory and survive in battle against AI. Their goal will be to get out of the map using a helicopter. According to leaks, it is supposed to be a kind of tutorial that will prepare us for multiplayer combat.
  2. Storm - This PvPvE mode seems to be the flagship mode of The Division: Heartland. Here too, the goal will be to collect loot, explore and survive. In contrast to Excursion, participants will stand face to face with AI and other players. An additional difficulty is to be the deadly gas, appearing in randomly selected areas of the map.
  3. Nightfall - A challenging PvE mode with a clearly defined goal. Similarly to the previous two, the players' challenge will also be to collect loot, survive and return to base. Nightfall, however, is a bit different, because it has added additional solutions to increase the level of difficulty. The gameplay will require users to complete objectives. Some of these will involve deploying radios, tracking the enemy and collecting data on agents. As if that wasn't enough, we will be hunted by enemies called "Vultures". The action will take place at night.
  4. Hunt - Henderson's report did not contain too much information about the fourth game mode, but the name itself suggests that it will be a more traditional head-to-head PvP.

Cross-platform

In addition to the above information, the well-known industry leaker confirmed that Heartland will offer a crossplay feature. In addition, the game has undergone a major overhaul of the inventory system, making it more player-friendly than in the original The Division.

Unfortunately, at the moment we do not know when exactly this spin-off will appear on the market. According to the information, which we reported about several months ago, we should expect that it will take place at the turn of 2022 and 2023.

The Division: Heartland will be available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X.
