If you enjoy looter shooters to any extent, chances are that Tom Clancy’s The Division 3’s release date has been on your radar since the highly anticipated sequel was announced back in late 2023.
Ubisoft’s third-person shooter series captures a very particular flavor of the subgenre’s formula, putting us in the role of an elite group of civilian agents fighting to maintain social order in the aftermath of a devastating pandemic.
Survivors in need of help and hostile factions dot its urban sprawls, each firefight rewarding a plethora of weapons that diversify and improve our arsenal. After a well-received second entry kept us battling throughout Washington and New York since 2019, The Division 3 likely aims to shake up our looting, shooting routine.
Tom Clancy’s The Division 3 Release Date
Ubisoft has yet to share details about Tom Clancy’s The Division 3’s release date, going silent about the sequel following its original announcement.
Back then, the publisher revealed that developer Massive Entertainment was building a team to work on the third entry in the series, with Julian Gerighty being appointed executive producer for the entire brand.

That suggests that the title was in early development in late 2023, making us believe that the chances of getting our hands on it in 2025 remain relatively slim.
2026 sounds like a much better candidate for The Division 3’s release, but that is pure speculation on our part. Ubisoft hasn’t talked about the size or scope of the project, and those are two factors that play an important role in how long it takes to get the game out.
Tom Clancy’s The Division 3 Setting and Gameplay
As far as its setting is concerned, whether we’ll get to explore a new city remains unclear. The previous two titles sent us to New York and Washington, D.C., respectively.
If that pattern continues, The Division 3 could see us shooting our way through a location that we’ve yet to visit.
In terms of gameplay, we expect the title to follow the cover-based third-person shooter formula of its predecessors while making both bigger and smaller changes.
“It’s shaping up to be a monster,” Executive Producer Julian Gerighty told PCGamesN. “I can’t really say anything more than that. But within these walls [at] Massive, we are working extremely hard on something that I think will [have] as big an impact as The Division 1 was.”
He then went on to explain that the next entry in the series will continue to revolve around online co-op, adding “depth” through its RPG elements while giving us open-world locations to explore, which surely sounds familiar to fans of the franchise.
It remains to be seen how adventurous Massive Entertainment can get with its design ideas, given how publisher Ubisoft is navigating rough waters following a string of underperforming releases and cancelled projects.
Tom Clancy’s The Division 3 Platforms
No official details have been shared yet about The Division 3’s platforms. We expect it to release on PC, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PS5. Depending on how powerful Nintendo’s Switch successor proves, there may be a chance to see the title arriving on it at some point.
As development progresses, more details about Tom Clancy’s The Division 3 will be shared, including its release date, gameplay, and more.
