Survivors Mode or Division 3? Ubisoft’s Crossroads With The Division Franchise

Ubisoft’s Gamescom 2025 roadmap for The Division 2 announced The Pact (Sept. 2025), Mutiny (Dec. 2025), and the big reveal — Survivors Mode (2026). It’s a new take on the original Survival mode with snowy D.C. landmarks, resource hunts, and tense extractions.

The Year 7 roadmap highlights: The Pact, Retaliation activity, Mutiny season, NPC companions.
Survivors Mode details and how it ties back to The Division 1 Survival.
Community reactions across Reddit/X — excitement vs. frustration.
