The Division 3 announced by Ubisoft in the most casual way possible

Working from home is clearly here to stay, but different parts of the US have adopted it at varying rates.

After 146 days, a landmark deal is going to soon be signed by the Writers' Guild of America, after it got several concessions from the producers and moguls running Hollywood. The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) remains on strike as of this writing.

The video game industry’s love affair with science fiction is as old as the medium itself, so it’s no minor statement when I say that 11 Bit Studios’ The Alters is perhaps the weirdest sci-fi game I’ve ever seen. This bizarre survival game is packed with weighty building mechanics and social links, and every time I thought the 40-minute demo couldn’t get any wilder, it defied my expectations by throwing yet another curveball. Whether it’s the planet’s rising sun that threatens to burn you into oblivion or the giant wheel-shaped base that serves as your home, the Rapidium miracle element that’s Earth’s only chance at survival or the alternate reality clones of the protagonist that serve as your companions, The Alters is perhaps the most high-concept science fiction game of all time – and maybe that’s not such a bad thing. I quite enjoy weird science fiction stories myself, and there’s something about The Alters’ extreme weirdness that gives it a neat dreamlike quality that’s unlike anything I’ve seen before. That’s definitely something to get excited about.

Ubisoft has outed the existence of The Division 3 — the next game in its looter shooter series. The title is currently in early development, and that's pretty much all we've got to go on. Just to give you an idea of what 'early' means, the team at Massive Entertainment — the lead developer on both of the previous Division games — is now recruiting for the project. So yeah, it's early.

In the eclectic realm of ghost-chasing aficionados and those versed in demonology, Ed and Lorraine Warren’s narrative was a tale that many whispered about. Known, yet enigmatic. Then, lo and behold, 2013 rolled around, and James Wan released his cinematic sensation – The Conjuring. It wasn’t merely an adaptation; it was an eruption. The film didn’t just “tell” their story. Instead, it thrust it quite dramatically into the spotlight. It unfurled layer by nuanced layer, the eerie, spine-tingling world that the Warrens navigated daily. From creepy dolls to demonic possession, the couple have seen it all in the Conjuring universe. It’s safe to say then that The Conjuring has become a modern classic for horror fans — a tale so haunting, so riveting, that its labyrinthine reach has spun into multiple sequels. Given its illustrious legacy in the world of horror, isn’t it high time we entertained the idea of a video game adaptation of The Conjuring?

Yes, The Division 3 is happening, Ubisoft has confirmed in what is a contender for the most nonchalant game announcement of all time.

Tom Clancy’s The Division 3 is officially on the cards. Julian Gerighty, who worked on the previous games before becoming creative director on Star Wars Outlaws, will become executive producer for The Division brand once the sci-fi title is out.

Ubisoft has made another shakeup for one of its core franchises, as Julian Gerighty is now the executive producer for its Division franchise. After shipping Star Wars Outlaws (as its creative director), he's to oversee the "plethora of projects" for the Tom Clancy branded sub-franchise. 

Ubisoft sure does love a sequel, and it's now confirmed — in just about as understated a fashion as is possible — that it's got another one in the works, this time in the form of The Division 3.

Ubisoft has confirmed that Tom Clancy’s The Division 3 is in the works, with Massive Entertainment leading development. The French publisher also announced it tapped Julian Gerighty as the new executive producer for The Division brand. He will dive into the new role once his work as creative director on Star Wars Outlaws is wrapped up.

In what could arguably be one of the most deflated ways to announce a new game in a series, Ubisoft has revealed that The Division 3 is coming thanks to a tweet announcing Julian Gerighty’s new role at the company. The tweet sees Ubisoft mention the game’s existence in a passing remark as they announce Gerighty’s new position as Executive Producer for the series, and it’s honestly about as unexciting as a reveal can get.

Ubisoft are planning to make Tom Clancy's The Division 3. The project was announced alongside news that Julian Gerighty, the current creative director of Star Wars Outlaws, would move across to be "executive producer for The Division brand" once that project is finished.
