It was probably getting too close to being interesting and fun. Can’t have that.

Honestly, not surprised.
I was part of the closed beta for the original Division, and it left such a bad taste in my mouth that I had no desire to pay for it (I think it was on Game Pass briefly, or maybe they did Free Play Days, I don’t remember, but I do remember playing it briefly after release). But, it never could compete with Destiny’s gameplay.

We should reconsider the video game market. 3-4 years of development, playtesting and research, just gone. Countless hours of hard work (or even crunch), poof, just gone. But don’t worry, of course they will release Skull and Bones!

Probably to make it a live service game and retitled The Division 3

Oh No! Anyway

I hope this means the multiplayer one was cancelled, and not division 3
RefinedBean
Up next, they’re cancelling that division
Remorse_123
This game was rated too and likely close to the finish line. It would need to have major issues to be canceled in this way.

Incoming layoffs in 3, 2…

Anyone who played alpha could tell you it was bad

Lol, saw this coming from Day 1

I played the closed beta, it wasnt great. It just felt like it was all over the place with the systems they had in place and even the premise and basic gameplay loop just wasn’t good. I imagine they felt it would be better to scrap it than to redo a lot of that stuff.
FelopianTubinator
Canceled to help focus on XDefiant. Oh boy, I sure hope that doesn’t bomb.

Isn’t division 3 going to be the SAME exact shit as 1 and 2 literally same play from 1 to 2. Was hoping for more immersive world tbh
AManOfManyLikings
REALLY?! They seriously couldn’t do this with Skull and Bones? They had to cancel the one game that is actually remotely interesting outside of Shadows, which they announced on the SAME DAY?!🤦🏾♂️
LordLipe
I hope they don’t cancel the mobile one. Played the beta and it was really close to the pc/console games.

It would probably be ass anyways

So now our only options for extraction looter shooters is a company from Russia and a company from China…yeah I don’t know about that bud.

Aw what the fuck. Been looking forward to this for years

Should’ve done this 3 years ago.

I remember buying The Division years ago, played it for 10 mins and had to stop to attend to something. Then never went back to it. One day I heard about The Division 2 coming out, then forgot about it. And now I’m hearing about this one but it’s getting cancelled. Sucks.
Was Div 1 or 2 even good?
NCHouse
I was actually looking forward to that. Probably the last title I would have gotten from them
DataVandal
I wonder if they’re cancelling Resurgence as well soon or cancelled Heartland because of Resurgence?

It was trying to hinge its success on being based on a past Survival mode that wasn’t that popular, while trying to blend Tarkov extraction shooter in, and still had to deal with the toxic gankfest of the Dark Zone it’d inevitably become. It had no real chance to succeed. General consensus on the playtests was it was just mid.

PSA For those who don’t know, The Division Heartland was the planner extraction shooter. It was not the 3rd installment of The Division series. As far as we know, there will be a 3rd division, this was not that.

Hot take, but I really enjoyed the beta! I’m a bit saddened that I won’t get to see the final product.

Standard Ubisoft. Waste millions on a product NO ONE WANTED just trying to chase trends, and poorly like they always do.
Ubisoft wants us to be comfortable not owning their games, Jokes on them, I already have been comfortable not owning anything Ubisoft for years now!

A friend of mine works at the studio and no one believes there will be zero layoffs. Everyone is looking for a different job.

Can we please, please just get a current-gen version of Ghost War from Ghost Recon: Wildlands? I’d play the shit out of that. I still play the old one because honestly nothing else has lucked into the balance between classes the way they did. Breakpoint PvP is just sad.
