Considering that The Division 3 is still in early development, it will be a while until we see the game in any official capacity – especially since Massive Entertainment already has its hands full with two upcoming AAA projects. All the focus will likely be on the new Avatar and Star Wars games at the studio, so The Division fans might be in for a long wait.
As for Ubisoft’s 2023 schedule, the publisher will release Assassin’s Creed Mirage this October and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora in December. Read our full exclusive preview for Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
