Ubisoft’s renowned franchise, The Division, is set to make a triumphant return with the official announcement of The Division 3. The exciting news comes alongside the appointment of Julian Gerighty as the Executive Producer for The Division Brand, marking his return to the franchise he played a pivotal role in shaping.
Julian Gerighty, a seasoned veteran of game development, is no stranger to The Division universe. He previously served as Associate Creative Director on the original Tom Clancy’s The Division, joining the team in 2014 during its formative stages. Reflecting on the franchise’s inception, Gerighty reminisced about the game’s initial reveal at E3 2013, where he saw the promise of co-op gameplay, PvP elements, and the immersive open-world RPG experience.
After contributing to the success of the first game, he transitioned to Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 as its Creative Director. Together with his team, they crafted an entirely new adventure set in the sun-soaked streets of Washington, D.C. Now, Gerighty is gearing up for the next chapter, Tom Clancy’s The Division 3, while also overseeing other projects within The Division universe, including the mobile game Tom Clancy’s The Division Resurgence and the survival-action shooter Tom Clancy’s The Division Heartland.
One of Gerighty’s primary objectives is to assemble a talented team to lead the development of Tom Clancy’s The Division 3, with Massive Entertainment, a Ubisoft Studio, at the helm. This commitment to building a strong foundation for the franchise extends to ensuring Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 continues to receive ample support.
Gerighty emphasizes the importance of solidifying the brand identity of The Division, which boasts over 40 million players. He envisions a future where the franchise tells incredible stories, explores new territories, and continues to protect the virtual world’s inhabitants.
A common thread in Gerighty’s vision is an unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional quality. He believes that every facet of The Division, from cutting-edge visuals to immersive gameplay, must consistently raise the bar to offer an unparalleled gaming experience.
Even as Gerighty takes the helm of The Division 3, he remains dedicated to ensuring the success of Star Wars Outlaws, a game he currently oversees as Creative Director. His continued involvement in the project, from development to launch, underscores his commitment to delivering a remarkable gaming experience.
When asked about his message to The Division’s dedicated player base regarding its future, Gerighty underscored the immense talent of Ubisoft’s development teams and the value of consistency in maintaining the franchise’s excellence. As The Division 3 takes shape, fans can anticipate a thrilling continuation of this beloved series, with Gerighty’s creative leadership steering the course toward new adventures, challenges, and unforgettable experiences.
