Well, Ubisoft won't be very happy about this! It was only last week that the company revealed The Division: Heartland - an upcoming free-to-play title set within The Division's universe - and gameplay has already leaked online.
The footage is rapidly being removed by Ubisoft, which shows 20 full minutes of gameplay from the title, along with a briefing describing exactly what the game is about, and warning participants to abide by the NDA. Oops!
The raw 20-minute gameplay is quickly disappearing, but here's a look at the briefing:

The closed tests have begun for Heartland, then, but the release date is still seemingly quite a ways off, as Ubisoft announced recently it would arrive sometime between 2021 and 2022 for consoles, PC and cloud.
In any case, we're keeping a keen eye on this one!
What do you make of this The Division: Heartland leak? Give us your thoughts down in the comments.

Not gone in the direction I would have liked but maybe for others, it’s a sort of battle royal then with a small campaign at the beginning to learn how to play.
It’s weird how I do like Ubisoft games that are big open world, still playing assassins creed Valhalla and looking forward to the next farcry.
It’s the exploration for me and living in the UK Valhalla and places I see now compared to the vikings days is heaven to me.
We learnt this history at school.
I wonder how this will impact on development for The Division 3?
@Nightcrawler71 I think this is The Division 3.
In a certain kind of way, I mean.
Publishers should have noted, by now, that these so called "games as a service", where you pay full price to buy your game, and then wait for content to be created, are doomed. Litterally, this model is doomed.
Anthem, Avengers, The Division... (and I love these games !) it's always the same problem. The entry-price is blocking new gamers who whant to just try the game, reducing the community as quick as it's possible.
Free to play is the way, now. For these kind of games.
Mirror for the 20 min gameplay? x)
Called it. Another stupid battle royale game. As soon as I saw “ftp” it just screamed out. Blah. And. Pass.
Juat give me Division 3, or major support ahead for two.
@Dezzy70 ha! Funny enough, that was the sole reason I got watchdogs 2. It was set in the Bay Area, where I live, and i wanted to see all the locales and whatnot. They did a pretty good job. Not an exact 1:1 faithful recreation, but damn near.
@PhhhCough
It must good seeing where you live in a video game.
Forza Horizon 4 is great for me in the UK as well.
@Dezzy70 wish I could say the same, maybe one day il get a GTA Birmingham 😂
I kinda wish sites didn’t share these leaks and actually supported the developers instead of doing this for clicks.
@UltimateOtaku91 just go out on the streets of Northfield District... Same thing 😉😁
@Nightcrawler71
Man, Ubi Soft Massive is working on Avatar 2, an open world Star Wars game, Heartland here, and continued support for Division 2 atm. If you think they even started PRE-PRODUCTION for a Division 3 yet... let's just say you're going to be waiting for a loooooong time, lol.
