    Aside from that, Ubisoft had a bunch of updates for The Division fans with a new roadmap for the franchise. This includes new content for The Division 2, a new novel, a mobile game and of course, a Netflix film adaptation starring Jessica Chastain and Jake Gyllenhaal. On that note, the film will be set after the events of The Division 2, and will “explore how the Outbreak affects different regions of the United States as agents fight to secure supply routes”.

    The Division: Heartland will release sometime before 2022 on PC, consoles and the cloud. Interested gamers can sign up for the beta here.
