The Division 3 is in production and could match the first game’s reach, producer says

At the New Games+ Showcase on January 8, 2026, Julian Gerighty, executive producer on The Division 3, confirmed the project is in active production and called it an ambitious follow-up to the series.

Gerighty spoke directly about the state of the sequel and how the team at Massive Entertainment is handling development. He said, “So, The Division 3 is in production, right? This is not a secret. It’s been announced. It’s shaping up to be a monster. I can’t really say anything more than that. But this is within these walls in Massive. We are working extremely hard on something that I think will be as big an impact as Division 1 was.” The quote was given during the showcase and is attributed to Gerighty.

Gerighty moved away from Star Wars Outlaws to focus on The Division 3 last year, and his comments suggest Ubisoft wants the next entry to recapture the strong response the original game got in 2016. There are still no screenshots or gameplay details available publicly, only the confirmation that development is ongoing.

Meanwhile, support for The Division 2 continues. Recent patches and events keep the live game active, including the Title Update Y7S2.1, which shows Massive has not abandoned the existing player base as work continues on the sequel. No release window was mentioned. Gerighty’s remarks are the clearest public update so far that development is moving forward, but players should expect details to arrive slowly as Massive refines the project.
