Ubisoft announces The Division 3, with Massive Entertainment set to develop

Ubisoft has revealed that The Division 3 is in early development.

The publisher announced that Julian Gerighty, who’s currently serving as creative director on Star Wars Outlaws, has also been appointed executive producer of The Division series.

As part of the announcement, it was confirmed that The Division 3 will be one of the projects Gerighty will oversee, and that Massive Entertainment will be leading development as it has done with the previous two games.

“As Executive Producer, Julian Gerighty will oversee all The Division games and products, including Tom Clancy’s The Division 3, led by Massive Entertainment who is actively building a team for the game,” Ubisoft’s statement says.

“In his new role, Julian will drive the many interdependent production elements of The Division brand in a unified direction.

“This includes development oversight, operations, and creative vision together with the development teams around the world who are currently developing the mobile game Tom Clancy’s The Division Resurgence, Tom Clancy’s The Division Heartland, and Tom Clancy’s The Division 2.”

According to Ubisoft, Gerighty will continue to work on Star Wars Outlaws until the game is completed.

“Julian remains fully committed to making Star Wars Outlaws a success both for the development team and fans,” Ubisoft says. “He will remain on the project through launch to ensure the game meets the intended creative vision and provides a great experience for players.”

In a statement, Gerighty said: “There are only a few games that I can genuinely say blew me away the first time I saw them, and Tom Clancy’s The Division is one of them. I was immediately hooked, like so many others who are part of our devoted player community.

“It’s a privilege and an honor to be able to continue to build incredible and unforgettable experiences in this amazing world with the most talented teams around the world, and I can’t wait for what’s next.”
