While it’s been known that Ubisoft is working onThe Division: Heartlandas a standalone battle royale offering, precious little has been revealed about the game so far. Most of the information that’s been available aboutHeartlandconsists of unsubstantiated rumors and leaks, with few concrete tidbits of information to go on, though that may soon be changing.Namely, Ubisoft may have inadvertently leaked some key information aboutThe Division: Heartlandahead of time by putting up its official store page earlier than intended. The store page has since been taken back down, though it seems to remain partially accessible in some instances and may offer interested players a look at what to expect out of the upcomingDivisionbattle royale.RELATED:Ubisoft Extends Online Services for Some of Its Older GamesThis information was brought to light by Twitter user Unknown1Z1, who posted some footage of the leakedThe Division: Heartlandstore page. While Ubisoft seems to have taken the page down following its discovery, it is still possible to open it up by searching for the game via Google Image Search and locating the official links that way. Broadly speaking, the page confirms a variety ofrumors surroundingThe Division: Heartland, though none of it is necessarily groundbreaking information.
Most prominently, the store page corroborates the previousStorm Mode leak forThe Division: Heartland, describing a special PvPvE operation against an aggressive faction of rogue Division agents, the so-called Vultures. Alongside the Vultures, players will also need to contend with surviving a lethal virus, adding a new twist to the experience. Notably, the page also mentions Excursion Operations, which seem to be dedicated PvE missions where players “prep the battlefield” in some way, possibly by collecting high-end gear for their Storm matches.
While some fans of the franchise may have hoped to see thelong-awaitedTom Clancy’sThe Division 3in the near future, this doesn’t seem to be happening anytime soon, especially now that Ubisoft’s own materials have seemingly confirmed that there’s a potentially major PvE element present inHeartland. The specifics are still fuzzy, of course, but it’s entirely possible thatHeartlandwill be closer to a classicDivisiontitle than some would’ve expected it to be, which is a good thing for fans in the short term.
AlongsideHeartland, Ubisoft is also working onThe Division: Resurgencemobile game, which seems to be doing its own thing in most respects and should be coming to both Android and iOS phones in the relatively near future. SinceHeartland’s store page has popped up, it’s possible that Ubisoft is getting ready to reveal more information about the game via official channels, but whether that ends up being the case remains to be seen.
