The Division 2 creative director, Yannick Banchereau, also reveals that the team considered going free-to-play but decided against it Ubisoft has confirmed that The Division 3 's roadmap is fully planned, suggesting fans don't need to worry about the game's development following recent studio changes.
Earlier this year, the game's executive producer, Julian Gerighty, left Massive Entertainment to join EA and work on the Battlefield franchise, with Ubisoft saying at the time that development on the game wouldn't be affected. "While we'll miss him, his mark will live on at Massive, and we'll continue
to bring the world he's been part of creating to our players for years to come," Ubisoft said. "Our teams who built this world with Julian are still here, carrying it forward with an ambitious, unchanged commitment for the future of The Division 2 , The Division 2: Survivors , The Division
Resurgence , and The Division 3 ."

Now, in an interview with Games Industry.biz , senior producer Fredrik Bronjemark has also chimed in to ease the worries of fans, confirming that
the game's roadmap has already been planned in full.
"We are operating and executing on the road map that had been planned and secured for some time already," said Bronjemark.
"Julian's departure isn't a distraction. We're happy for him and obviously
sad to see him go. He was a friend. But as far as The Division 3 goes, we
have our future and our roadmap that is already secure, and we know exactly where we are going and exactly what we want to do."
The Division 2 creative director, Yannick Banchereau, also touched on the series' future and believes with "zero doubt" that it will continue for another decade. Get daily insight, inspiration and deals in your inbox Sign

"It is all about having happy players and a thriving community," Banchereau said. "That is the main goal. If we have that, then eventually we will be
able to grow the player base and have a strong and thriving community when
The Division 3 releases and continues the growth from there. That's really what we see in front of us.
"Now we have Resurgence , which will be a big part of that, we are inviting a new audience as well to the franchise."
The creative director also revealed that the team considered making The Division 2 free-to-play, but it "never made sense", explaining that it was "very clear that the model we currently have works really well with the current game".

Switching to a free-to-play model would also require Ubisoft to implement
huge changes to the game, but Banchereau explained that the team is "protective of the experience of our players and the way we monetise, the way we do business".
"We are realistic about how this works and at the end of the day, for our
game to continue growing we need to generate revenue," he said. "But we
always want to make sure that we do that in a respectful way for our players. Free-to-play wouldn't necessarily violate that, but you would need to adapt and make some changes. So far, we haven't really seen the need to do that."
The Division 3 was announced back in 2023 , but it doesn't yet have a
release date. In the meantime, Ubisoft has released The Division Resurgence , a free-to-play game now available on mobile devices. The best PC controllers Our top picks for the best PC gamepads
