The development process was marked by uncertainty and confusion, with changes to characters and a shift in tone. Film director Neill Blomkamp provided feedback on the game's direction, and sources revealed that Sega Japan had a significant presence at the UK office. Despite the cancellation, some developers are not angry with Sega but express frustration with the leadership.
"The Division Heartland: New Classes, Survival Mechanics, and More Revealed by Ubisoft"
The Division Heartland, the next chapter in Ubisoft's loot-shooter franchise, will be a free-to-play game with a survival twist, set in the fictional town of Silver Creek.

The game will force players to cope with dehydration and sickness in ways the previous two games did not. At launch, Heartland players may choose from three classes to specialize their character: weapons expert, medic, or survivalist, all coming with individual perks. Descent, a rogue-lite mode, is also coming to Tom Clancy's The Division 2 this summer.
