The Division Heartland is a free-to-play, survival-action shooter game that immerses players in the enigmatic rural town of Silver Creek. The game is developed by Red Storm Entertainment and published by Ubisoft. It is available on platforms including PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. The game is set in a fictional rural community in Middle America. Players assume the role of one of six trained Division agents from across the nation and respond to a distress call to unravel the ever-evolving mysteries of a rural community in mid-crisis.

The gameplay of The Division Heartland is PvEvP focused. Players explore and complete missions during the day, and at night, they combat the dynamically moving contamination, enemy factions, and player squads. The game world of Pandora is divided into three distinct regions, each with unique biomes, quests, and inhabitants. The player can use “Na’vi sense” to highlight interactable objects and vulnerable points of enemies. The player has access to both RDA weapons like assault rifles and shotguns, and Na’vi weapons such as bows and arrows and spear throwers. As players progress and complete quests, they unlock better gear, enhancing their combat performance. Ammo, throwables, and other consumables can be crafted using materials collected in the wild. Players can hunt animals in the game, but using firearms prevents the collection of crafting resources. Players can also earn “Clan Favor” by defeating RDA troops, aiding fellow Na’vi, and progressing in the game. They can use this to purchase rare weapons, armor, and crafting materials. The player character is agile, capable of advanced acrobatic feats such as double jumping. The player character can also ride a flying creature, the “ikran”, for swift world navigation. The game is set in the year 2146, eight years before Jake Sully’s arrival on Pandora. The RDA sets up The Ambassador Program (TAP) led by Dr. Alma Cortez and RDA Director John Mercer, with the goal of training five young Na’vi children: the player (referred to as “the Sarentu”), Ri’nela, Aha’ri, Teylan, and Nor, to be Na’vi-human ambassadors.
