The Division Resurgence: release date speculation, news, and rumors

By Billy Givens May 23, 2024

The Division Resurgence — Ubisoft

With news that The Division 3 is in development, it’s understandable that some fans of Ubisoft’s third-person shooter franchise may have overlooked an upcoming spinoff that’s set to launch sometime this year. The Division Resurgence is a free-to-play mobile entry in the series that will bring all of the same thrills and kills to a much smaller screen. While you’re waiting for this next outing (and all of the loot waiting within), take a look at what we know so far about The Division Resurgence.

Release date

Division Resurgence — Ubisoft

The Division Resurgence does not have an exact release date quite yet. The game has been delayed multiple times, but Ubisoft has stated that players can now expect to get their hands on it at some point in late 2024.

It’s likely we’ll at least get some type of news on the game and its current release window at Ubisoft Forward 2024 on June 10, but only time will tell.

Platforms

As it’s strictly a mobile game, The Division Resurgence will launch on iOS and Android. While it’s always possible that a mobile game will receive a PC or console port at some point, we wouldn’t recommend getting your hopes up. With The Division 3 set to be the next big drop in the franchise for those platforms, Ubisoft likely wouldn’t want such a similar title competing in that space.

Multiplayer

The Division Resurgence characters — Ubisoft

As expected, The Division Resurgence will feature both PVE and PVP multiplayer. There will be no shortage of loot for everyone to work toward together on missions, but that’s not all that is in store for fans. Unlike the previous two games, where the PvEvP area was open for players to enter and leave at will, The Division Resurgence‘s Dark Zone is session-based. This means you’ll have to queue up and enter the area with 19 other players to see who will extract with the best loot — and who will be left wanting.

Trailers

The Division Resurgence has received a few trailers showing off some of its gameplay and features. There are still a lot of unanswered questions, but the trailers have at least proven that the experience players are used to will be alive and well even in a mobile-only format.

The game’s first trailer showcased a brief glimpse at gameplay and a streamlined UI that should assist with the game’s mobile limitations.

Meanwhile, another trailer has given us a look at the Dark Zone in The Division Resurgence, an area of the map that most players will recognize as a location that blends tense PVE and PVP combat.

Preorder

Since The Division Resurgence is free to play, you don’t really need to preorder the game in the traditional sense. However, you can register for The Division Resurgence closed beta on the game’s official website.

Nintendo Switch 2: release date rumors, features we want, and more

Prime Day Nintendo Switch Deals

Rumors of a Nintendo Switch 2 (or Switch Pro) have been circulating for years. Whispers of the next-gen Nintendo console first started when The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was initially teased in 2019, gained steam when the Switch OLED launched in 2021, and are increasing now that the standard Switch has been out for six years.

There's no doubt that the Nintendo Switch is a fantastic console -- it has a unique and impressive game library (with more upcoming games slated for this year), the number of features included with Nintendo Switch Online is constantly improving, and it's still our favorite portable console -- but it isn't without its flaws. There's enough room for improvement to warrant an entirely new console in the near future. Nintendo recently announced that we wouldn't see a Switch upgrade in the next fiscal year, meaning the absolute earliest we get a look at a new Nintendo console would be in late 2024.

PS5 Pro: news, rumored release date, price, and specs

Rumors are running rampant about a supposed PlayStation 5 Pro, or PS5 Pro for short. Just like we got a mid-generation upgrade with the PS4 Pro during the last console cycle, many people are expecting PlayStation to release an incrementally more powerful machine to bridge the gap between the launch unit and an eventual PlayStation 6. Leaks have been coming out from some fairly credible sources, with a lot of juicy and very specific details about what a hypothetical PS5 Pro could look like. As credible as these sources may be, we do still need to take everything we see with some skepticism until Sony officially confirms that this system even exists. Until then, here are all the rumors out there regarding the PS5 Pro.
Rumored release window

A constant release window that all leaks have pointed to is sometime in Fall of 2024. That's right around the corner, probably in the September through November range, meaning we should be getting an official announcement on the console if that is indeed the plan. It appears that PS5 Pro dev kits are now in the hands of more developers, who have been asked that PS5 Pro-enhanced games be submitted for certification in August. These developments point toward a 2024 release.

A Sonic game that plays like Fall Guys is coming to mobile

A cinematic shot of Sonic in Sonic Rumble's announcement trailer.

Sega unveiled a new Sonic the Hedgehog game today, and it's a multiplayer game for mobile devices that's reminiscent of battle royale platformers like Fall Guys.

Titled Sonic Rumble, this battle royale game sees 32 players compete as they dash and jump their way through levels. Mediatonic's Fall Guys is the most immediate comparison to draw based on the gameplay briefly shown off in its reveal trailer, but Sonic Rumble does stand out with levels that feel uniquely tailored to the series' iconography and 2D platformer sections that call back to Sonic's roots. A lot of Sonic the Hedgehog characters appear to be playable and can be further customized with in-game items.
