The Division Heartland was announced in 2021 as a free-to-play shooter that "will provide an all new perspective on the universe in a new setting." Details beyond that were basically non-existent but I speculated at the time that it would be a battle royale of some sort. Today we got our first proper look at it in a "developer deep dive video," and it seems that I was a little off the mark.
Unlike the first two Division games, which were set in New York City and Washington DC respectively, The Division Heartland takes place in Silver Creek, a small town in middle America. You're there because your old boss in Boston wiped out your team of Division agents and did a runner in that direction. Now he's putting together an army of "reapers" for reasons that remain unknown.
