With The Division 3 Still in Active Development, Ubisoft Announces The Division Franchise Has Hit More Than 50 Million Players

Massive Entertainment has announced that The Division series has recorded over 50 million players across its games, just as the series hits its 10th anniversary. That’s a lot of +1 defense beanies!

The long-running looter shooter began life in 2016 with the launch of The Division. It came out three years after its flashy reveal at Ubisoft's E3 2013 conference which, at the time, exceeded expectation for next-gen gaming (remember when the guy closed the car door while in cover?). The Division 2 followed in 2019, but sales failed to meet Ubisoft's expectations. A number of spinoffs have come and gone since.

Massive Entertainment announced a new DLC for The Division 2 at a community panel at Gamescom earlier this year. The Echoes of Central Park DLC releases on November 3. It seems likely the new expansion — which adds a horror-themed flashback campaign, a stash space increase, a level boost, and more — will see even more players shoot numbers out of some guys across the U.S., both returning and new.

With those kinds of numbers, it’s no surprise Ubisoft and Massive aren’t done with the series. Tom Clancy's The Division 3 is also officially in production at Massive Entertainment. Originally headed up by executive producer Julian Gerighty (who also led Star Wars Outlaws and The Division 2), The Division 3 is now in the hands of creative director Mathias Karlson, game director on The Division 2. Gerighty recently left Ubisoft to work at Battlefield developer DICE.

Gerighty confirmed his departure in a social media post just a week after appearing on a livestream to promote The Division 3 .
