News | Tom Clancy's The Division 3 officially announced
Ubisoft has announced that it will be developing Tom Clancy's The Division 3.
The company announced in a message on its website that Julian Gerighty, the current creative director of Star Wars Outlaws, will take on the role of executive producer of The Division series after the release of that game.
The article then mentions that The Division 3 is one of the projects he will be overseeing. Developer Massive Entertainment, which also made the previous The Division games and is currently working on Star Wars Outlaws and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, is looking for a team to develop The Division 3.
“As executive producer, Julian Gerighty will oversee all The Division games and products, including Tom Clancy’s The Division 3, development of which is led by Massive Entertainment – they are actively building a team for the game. In his new role, Julian takes the many disconnected elements of The Division brand into a cohesive direction.”
There are no images of The Division 3 yet – given the words Ubisoft is using, it’s likely the game is still in an extremely early stage of development, if development has even begun. Meanwhile, the company is also working on the upcoming free-to-play mobile game Tom Clancy’s The Division Resurgence and the free-to-play spin-off for consoles and PC The Division Heartland.
