Tom Clancy’s The Division Resurgenceis still expected to land on mobile devices at some point, but we’re yet to have an exact release date or even an updated release window. Fortunately, we do have a few trailers to dissect ahead of its release, so there’s still a decent amount of information to sink our teeth into.
With the most recent trailer being showcased as part of a Ubisoft Forward event too, there’s no better time to start looking into whyThe Division Resurgenceshould be one of your most anticipatedupcoming games.
Here’s everything we know about what could be one of thebest Android gamesof recent years. From the latest news, to info on what to expect from the gameplay, let’s dig into what’s been said aboutThe Division Resurgenceso far.
The Division Resurgence - cut to the chase
The Division Resurgence platforms
The Division Resurgencewill be released exclusively on Android and iOS devices, shaking things up from the previousThe Divisongames which were released on console and PC, but offering a new story alongside its new platform. In addition, the game is entirely free to play on mobile devices. Should the release be as streamlined as we are anticipating, it could be a hell of a hit on mobile.
There’s currently nothing to suggest that the game will eventually come to PC or home console, but basing our assumption on how the game appears to be built exclusively for mobile devices right now, we believe that there are no plans for the game to ever leave its mobile exclusivity.
The Division Resurgence story and setting
The Division Resurgencepromises a new storyline based on the previous twoDivisiongames while maintaining a familiar setting stripped from the first game.The Division Resurgenceputs you in the position of becoming a member of the first wave of Strategic Homeland Division agents, amidst a virus outbreak in New York City.
New York will set the scene for the game, as you will need to defend the metropolitan area against waves of enemies and crime syndicates, alongside completing missions to help you explore the area.

There will be a variety of PVE missions on offer, both as part of the central campaign and as unique side missions to help you explore the world outside of your placement in New York. We are yet to learn about what these missions will specifically involve, but we do know that the post-apocalyptic setting is home to numerous hostile enemies you should expect to face during your time with the title.
The Division Resurgence gameplay
In terms of gameplay, we know a pretty limited amount about what to expect fromThe Division Resurgenceas a whole. We’ve received a short, three-minute look at the in-game content, but aside from using a minimap to track a mission, a slight look at how combat plays, and a look at the new compact UI designed specifically for mobile play, there’s a lot to learn still.
Even thoughThe Division Resurgenceis set to arrive on a new platform for the franchise, you can expect the game to play in the same style as the previousDivisiongames. Between tense combat and completing missions, you’ll be able to work your way through a skill tree, alongside exploring what the new classes offer and how you can utilize them during your time inResurgence.
Each class or specialization has a unique skill tree, so whether you’re more of a vanguard or if you’d rather rely on explosives for a quick and easy takedown, you’ll need to focus on improving your own skills to help out teammates and progress through side missions, and the campaign.
In addition, the time it takes to complete central and side missions has been reduced, so you will be able to play in short bursts while on the go, ideal for any mobile gamer. Despite these missions being significantly shorter in completion time in comparison toThe DivisionandThe Division 2, that doesn’t mean they lack detail.
You should expect to have your skills put to the test in each mission, whether that’s through a grab-and-go mission or something more hands-on with the enemies. Looting and crafting have also been highlighted to be integral to the game, being the core mechanic when upgrading your weapons and your gear.
The Division Resurgence trailers
The most recent look we’ve had atThe Division Resurgenceis through a Tactical Action CGI Trailer which was shown as part of Ubisoft Forward Live in June 2023. Within this trailer, we see an animated rendition of the setting, characters, abilities, and combat we can expect to experience throughout the game. We also meet a few enemies and their coinciding attacks, before seeing what looks like a look at actual in-game footage followed by the release window of Fall 2023. This was later followed by a delay to Early 2024.
We’ve scattered a few additional trailers forThe Division Resurgencethroughout this article, but if you want to find out a little more for yourself, it’s worth looking atUbisoft’s official YouTube channel.
