Ubisoft Teases Possible The Division: Definitive Edition Reveal at Japanese Event

At the Ubisoft event in Japan, a poster for The Division: Definitive Edition was spotted, indicating that the company is preparing an updated version of the original game. Images of the poster surfaced on social media, shared by several attendees of the event.

The poster was reportedly showcased at FPS Day, an esports gathering focused on Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege and Tom Clancy’s The Division 2. The event also features a panel dedicated to the tenth anniversary of the The Division series, lending additional significance to the appearance of the Definitive Edition.

The original Tom Clancy’s The Division was released in 2016 and depicted New York City in the aftermath of a devastating viral outbreak. The narrative revolved around a disease nicknamed «Green Poison,» which was transmitted via cash. Players undertook missions, upgraded their gear, and ventured into the Dark Zone—a highly dangerous area where they could find top-tier loot, but could only secure it if they successfully evacuated via helicopter.

While Ubisoft has yet to officially announce the Definitive Edition, the leak seems quite credible. It’s worth noting that Tom Clancy’s The Division 3 was introduced in 2023, but the game has not been shown to the public since then. Executive producer Julian Gerighty recently noted that the third installment is expected to make a significant impact, akin to the launch of the original game.

According to him, development is progressing well, and the project is referred to internally at Massive Entertainment as a «monster.» If the rumors about the Definitive Edition are confirmed, Ubisoft might leverage the re-release as a way to remind gamers of the franchise’s roots before the full launch of the sequel, The Division.

The original The Division is currently available on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Connect), as well as on Xbox and PlayStation, all featuring full Russian localization.
