First look at Tom Clancy’s The Division® Heartland gameplay; register now for the next tests
Heartland takes players to Silver Creek, once a peaceful Midwestern town left in ruins by the arrival of the Dollar Rush virus. Silver Creek is a harsh place, plagued by deadly pollution, hordes of hidden enemies, and the ever-present threat of disease and dehydration. In The heart of the division, and for the first time in the franchise, the Silver Creek base of operations will be a shared space. Players will be able to gather at Rockit Rink, an abandoned ice rink, to socialize, form parties, customize their characters, and prepare for the next Operation.
Each session begins and ends at the base of operations, and each time players leave they will bring back the materials and equipment they have gathered, which will help them prepare for the days ahead. Players will need to use the base of operations to craft supplies and pack their bag before spending the day in town. Before each session, they can choose between three classes: Weapon Expert, Medic and Survivor. Each class offers a special ability, and if players team up, they’ll shine brighter by complementing each other. By venturing into the city during the day, players will be able to loot resources and prepare to survive the night; when it falls, Silver Creek becomes much more unstable, and the PvEvP gameplay requires players to think things through and work as a team to survive and come back with all their loot.
The team works with a trial and error approach in the development of this game, running continuous testing phases and asking feedback players before moving on to the next phase. Anyone who wishes can register for future closed tests at thedivisionheartland.com; those who are invited to participate will also receive five invitations that they can share with their friends.
