Ubisoft has quietly disclosed that the third installment of its popular franchise, The Division, is currently under development. The announcement came with the appointment of Julian Gerighty as the executive producer, who will oversee numerous facets of The Division's brand including development, operations, and creative vision in collaboration with global development teams. Gerighty, known for his work on titles like Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, The Crew, and The Division, will also stay with the Star Wars Outlaws project to guarantee its creative integrity and user experience.

The Division brand has about 40 million players, making the development of the third mainline game unsurprising. Aside from The Division 3, other projects related to the franchise are also in progress, such as The Division Heartland set in a rural town called Silver Creek, and The Division Resurgence that is slated for mobile release.

Moreover, The Division and The Division 2 remain playable, with the latter now in its fifth year of content.
