Ubisoft has cancelled The Division Heartland.

The company confirmed that development of the project had ceased during its quarterly earnings call on Wednesday.

“In line with the increased selectivity of our investment, we have decided to stop development on The Division Heartland and are redeploying our resources to bigger opportunities like XDefiant and Rainbow Six Siege,” said chief financial officer Frédérick Duguet.

Heartland was set to be a free-to-play multiplayer survival-action shooter set in a fictional rural community in Middle America.

Duguet called the cancellation “a difficult but necessary and important decision”.

Developed by Red Storm Entertainment, Heartland was planned as a free-to-play multiplayer shooter for PC and consoles.

The PvEvP focused, survival-action title was to be set in the fictional rural American Midwest town of Silver Creek, which had been left in ruins following the spread of Dollar Flu.

During today’s earnings call, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot also said Heartland didn’t align with the company’s plans to sharpen its strategic focus on two verticals: open world adventures and native games-as-a-service titles.

Earlier today, Ubisoft revealed Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which is set for release on November 15, 2024.

Starring two playable characters, it will be available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Amazon Luna, Mac, and PC through the Ubisoft Store and the Epic Games Store.

Makes sense, anything that looks remotely enjoyable should be cancelled by Ubisoft.

There was someone in a reddit thread who worked on the game and said it's good it was canceled because it was just bad. Said it was nothing like the division and there wasn't even a cover system only crouching. Bad balancing etc.

Pretty much said it was only the division name and nothing else really

Pretty much what they are doing with the Tom Clancy name these days.

Good.



I heard it's some phaagy extraction shooter and not even Division 3.



Make Division 3 instead and set it back in winter.

Remember the closing doors? Back when people got excited for a Ubi game.

Not even that, everything Ubisoft did pre-divison was pretty cool tbh.


The golden years being that PS2/PS3 gen. When all their games were unique, fun and graphical powerhouses. I'd go far as to say they were one of my favorite companies back in the those days.

Ubisoft needs to stop dinking around & work on their Splinter Cell remake.

Just bring back chaos theory and I’d be happy.

It was supposed to be PvP focused anyways, which blows. If they made it PvE focused with a separate PvP area like the first 2 games, it would have been better. Hopefully the third game follows that format.

Lol @ expecting anything good from Ubisoft ever again. Leftism and corporate greed ruined them, funny how often the two seem to be connected these days.
