Ubisoft confirms The Division 3 is in development, described as a monster in the works by Massive Entertainment’s executive producer during the New Game Plus Showcase, signaling a high-profile next chapter for the franchise.

To mark its 10th anniversary, The Division 2 will receive The Division 2: Survivors in 2026, adding an extraction-based mode and major map changes, including a blizzard effect over Washington DC.

Teasers and speculation point to potential early information or a trailer for The Division 3 in 2026, riding the momentum of the franchise’s tenth anniversary.

Access to Realism Mode is gated behind owning the Warlords of New York expansion, serving as a first glimpse of further anniversary celebrations and surprises.

The new Realism Mode promises more tactical, intense combat with lethal headshots, reduced body-shot emphasis, smarter movement, and refined loadouts.
