French Ubisoft For our part, we are almost accustomed to the fact that this or that project can continue for many years. This in itself is not a problem at all, nor is it unprecedented, as large-scale projects are always in the making for years, in fact. On the other hand, it has become a habit for the largest French publisher in recent years that a previously announced game completely disappears from the media, and that news about it rarely appears, and even then it is more like rumours. This was it Skull and bones And now like this Department: Heartland also.
The latter was announced in 2021, but until then they have been relatively sparing with information. It was known that this would not be a big The Division 3, but just some kind of side branch that would be free. The last time I heard about the project was last fall, and even then there were only rumors that we might be weeks away from a premiere. This rumor did not come true, as the game was never actually released.
Now, the opposite is starting to fly around the Internet: that Ubisoft has quietly dropped the project. Tom Henderson, President of InsiderGaming, responded to this On her channel XHe wrote that he had also heard these rumours. He tried to reassure everyone that The Divison: Heartland is still very much alive, and just undergoing a major transformation. Unfortunately, he didn't say more than that himself, but he promised that once he got more information, he would share it with his followers.
Of course, the most reassuring thing would be for Ubisoft itself to stand up to the community and outline the current state of the project. This alone can be considered official, everything else remains just a rumor.
