A mobile version of The Division has just been announced. Here's everything you need to know, including the release date, beta tests, gameplay, and more.
Ubisoft is doubling down with its mobile gaming aspirations; not only is Rainbow Six Mobile on the way, but fellow Tom Clancy-inspired franchise, The Division, is also coming to handheld devices.
The Division Resurgence is a free-to-play prequel to The Division 1 and 2 and is set in the same sprawling open-world New York that was featured in the first game. PvE is the primary game mode, with players able to take on nefarious factions solo or cooperatively.
Ubisoft is promising a true "AAA experience" for mobile gamers, and while only announced in 2022, it has quickly become one of the most anticipated upcoming mobile games.
If you want to learn more, including how you can become a part of that alpha test and future open betas, our primer will explain all.
The Division Resurgence's Release Is Still Unknown
There is currently no confirmed release date for The Division Resurgence. This is largely because the game has experienced several delays and disruptions to its development over the past few years.
Ubisoft previously stated they have received 'very positive results' from the game's previous live tests, particularly in China, so they had planned for a wider release sometime in 2024. However, that clearly did not happen. After this piece of information was revealed, Ubisoft went dark about any information regarding the game, with the team only returning to the fray in the latter half of 2025.
Given that the game has undergone several beta tests in the past, it is fair to say that it is well into the advanced stages of development.
Upcoming The Division Resurgence Beta Tests
The next regional beta will be held in November 2025 in the United States and Brazil.
Many other playtests for The Division Resurgence have been held in the past. You can find a list of the previous beta tests and the regions in which they were held below:
- December 2022: Europe
- September 2022: The United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, India, Singapore, and the Philippines.
- June 13 – July 25, 2023: Australia, Chile, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, and Sweden
- November 16 – December 29, 2023: US, Brazil, and Australia
- April 3 – 5, 2024: The United States
- September 9 – 12, 2025: Romania
In addition to all this, a special regional beta test was conducted in Southeast Asia in late 2023.
The Division Resurgence Promises A Triple-A Gameplay Experience
Ubisoft is looking to create an AAA experience on mobile with The Division Resurgence. If you're unfamiliar with the mainline Division games, they are third-person shooters with RPG elements.
Players will take on the role of an operative of the Strategic Homeland Division (SHD) and will attempt to keep safe a New York that has been overrun by warring factions. Missions will be playable as a solo player or with teammates in a coop mode. A PvP game mode has yet to be confirmed.
As you progress through the game, you will be able to take on a specialisation, upgrade your weapon and gear, and use gadgets that will help you complete your mission. The developers have also promised that the controls have been entirely reworked for mobile gaming, and game sessions, in general, have been shortened.
How to Pre-Register For The Division Resurgence
If this all sounds like the perfect game for you, then you'd better pre-register for the game. You can pre-register for The Division Resurgence tests by heading to the official The Division Resurgence website.
You can also pre-register for the game on the Google Play Store. Registering through the App Store was possible in the past, but the game has since been pulled from the store for unknown reasons.
