Tom Clancy’s The Division Heartland got its ESRB classification before of its release date, providing gamers with some insight into the amount of brutality to anticipate from the game. While this rating sheds additional insight on the substance of the future spin-off in The Division franchise, the game’s release date remains uncertain.
Ubisoft announced Tom Clancy’s The Division Heartland for 2021, three years after the successful debut of The Division 2. This new free-to-play game is a spin-off based on The Division world and is being developed by Red Storm Entertainment, a firm established by Tom Clancy himself.
The Division Heartland by Tom Clancy has been classified as M for the inclusion of blood, serious violence, and harsh language. According to the classification description, Tom Clancy’s The Division Heartland has multiple scenes of violence, both in the cinematics and during gameplay segments. The ESRB highlights, among other things, the killing of characters at close range, a scenario of Russian roulette, and the torture of hostages. The confrontations seem to be severe, as shown by “cries of pain, blood-splatter effects, and explosions.”
In addition to these violent scenes and realistic fighting, Tom Clancy’s The Division Heartland will allow for in-game purchases. These purchases will not include randomised components like loot boxes, treasure chests, or reward wheels, according to the ESRB. Previous instalments in The Division series, on the other hand, contain Premium Credits, which can be bought with real money and used to get cosmetic items and emotes from the in-game shop.
Despite receiving an ESRB rating, Tom Clancy’s The Division Heartland has yet to be released. The game was supposed to be released in 2021 or 2022, but the year is drawing to a conclusion and Tom Clancy’s The Division Heartland is nowhere to be seen. This ESRB rating might indicate that the release date will be revealed shortly, with a possible release window in 2023. Ubisoft may release further details about its planned free-to-play FPS at The Game Awards on December 2, 2022.
Ubisoft has previously revealed some information regarding the game. The Division Heartland by Tom Clancy is set in Silver Creek, a small community in the American Northwest. The game will have three game modes: Expedition, which is a PvE experience; Storm Operations, which is a PvPvE mode in which players must battle and survive a virus; and Excursion Operations, in which agents accomplish tasks and gather gear. More information on Tom Clancy’s The Division Heartland has leaked online, suggesting that it is an open-world survival game with a contamination zone that prevents players from entering specific places.
