Here's everything that was announced during the recently announced and concluded The Division Day live stream, including news about The Division 2, Heartland, Resurgence, and more.
The Division 2
The livestream announced the start of The Division 2's Year 5. Year 5 will start in Early June 2023, and will bring with it a new season: Broken Wing. This new season brings with it a new Manhunt target and a continuation of the rebuilding of the Castle Settlement. Year 5 will also bring with it the new Descent game mode, a rogue-lite mode separate from the main game. Players can play it solo or with friends, unlocking new and more powerful gear the more runs they do.
They also announced their roadmap for the upcoming year, with the next three seasons named Puppeteers, Vanguard, and Black Diamond bringing with them various new content. Not only that but there will also be various apparel events, starting with the Resident Evil collaboration starting April 25, 2023.

The Division Heartland
The livestream prepared a Developer Deep Dive for The Division Heartland. In it, they talked about the game's story, gameplay, and more. To summarize, Heartland's story revolves around Division agents helping fellow Agent Mackenzie Reed in tracking down their rogue commander Killian Tower. In their quest, they must also uncover the secrets of the small town of Silver Creek.
As for the gameplay, it is still very similar to that of the first two Division games. However, they are introducing survival elements to the game, such as hydration. They are also introducing roaming areas where the virus is more potent, thus requiring preparation before entering.
Interested players can sign up for an upcoming closed beta test on the official website. If chosen, the player will receive five additional invites to give out to their friends.
