Ubisoft has appointed Julian Gerighty as the producer for its Tom Clancy’s The Division brand to oversee all games and products, including the today-announced Tom Clancy’s The Division 3.
Gerighty is currently the creative director of Star Wars Outlaws at Massive Entertainment, which created the Tom Clancy’s The Division franchise. He will make the move to The Division brand producer once Star Wars Outlaws has shipped.
After joining Massive Entertainment and shipping the original Tom Clancy’s The Division in 2016, Gerighty served as creative director on Tom Clancy’s The Division 2.
In addition to Tom Clancy’s The Division 3, Gerighty will also oversee other projects set in the Tom Clancy’s The Division universe, including Tom Clancy’s The Division Resurgence and Tom Clancy’s The Division Heartland.
One of Gerighty’s core focuses going into the role will be to build a team for Tom Clancy’s The Division 2, while making sure Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 remains well supported.
“We may have over 40 million players, but The Division is still in its early years as a franchise,” said Gerighty. “There are so many incredible stories to tell, places to explore and people to protect.”
He continued, “I think that we delivered that with Tom Clancy’s The Division‘s cutting-edge visuals, incredible gameplay, and promise to the player that they can’t get this experience anywhere else, and then again with Tom Clancy’s The Division 2. It’s about refinement, it’s about pushing the quality bar consistently forward.”

XDefiant is the upcoming free-to-play shooter from Ubisoft, which aims to recapture the classic arcade shooter-style game seen in shooters of yesteryear. However, since its announcement, it has had quite a turbulent development, and now it has been indefinitely delayed, raising the question of when players will see the game make its return and when we could expect to see a release date again.
Ubisoft revealed its «fast-paced firefights meets punk rock mosh pits» first-person shooter, Tom Clancy's XDefiant, in 2021. It's a free-to-play shooter that features factions from different Ubisoft properties, like Splinter Cell, Watch Dogs, The Division, and Far Cry. We went hands-on with XDefiant earlier this year and came away impressed with the shooter. Players enjoyed an open beta back in June, and the full game was set to launch in the summer, but now, developer Ubisoft San Francisco has delayed its preseason launch indefinitely.
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.
Ubisoft and Microsoft have teamed up for a Halo crossover in Rainbow Six Siege.
At Devcom last month, senior narrative designer Arden Osthof gave a talk entitled "Playing with gender: A design framework for character customisation," giving tips on how game makers can improve their protagonist creation tools to be more inclusive.
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.
