Ubisoft Announces Gerighty’s Return to The Division Brand
In an exciting development for The Division series gamers and fans alike, Ubisoft announced Julian Gerighty’s return to the franchise that captured the hearts of millions. As of the recent announcement, Gerighty has been appointed as the Executive Producer for The Division Brand, marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of this beloved gaming universe. This move will occur following the completion of his current project, Star Wars Outlaws, where he serves as the Creative Director.
Gerighty's enthusiasm for rejoining The Division universe is palpable. He first joined the franchise back in 2014 as Tom Clancy’s The Division’s Associate Creative Director. He vividly recalls the promise that initially drew him in during the game's debut at E3 2013. "I remember the gameplay promise – the co-op, PvP, the open-world RPG aspects. Its world seemed very relatable, and very realistic, like you could really be an agent for change within it."
After contributing to the success of the original game released in 2016, Gerighty took on the role of Creative Director for Tom Clancy’s The Division 2, where he and his team crafted a gripping adventure set in the summertime streets of Washington, D.C. Now, he's setting his sights on Tom Clancy’s The Division 3, stealthily announcing he’s setting up a team for the third installment of the series, along with a host of other projects in The Division universe. These projects include the mobile game Tom Clancy’s The Division Resurgence and the thrilling survival-action shooter Tom Clancy’s The Division Heartland.
Gerighty is Committed to Continuing Support for The Division 2
Gerighty’s primary focus will be the assembly of a talented team for Tom Clancy’s The Division 3, which will be spearheaded by Massive Entertainment, a Ubisoft Studio. Simultaneously, he is dedicated to ensuring that Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 continues to receive the strong support it deserves. Beyond these initiatives, he is committed to solidifying the brand's identity.
"We may have over 40 million players, but The Division is still in its early years as a franchise. There are so many incredible stories to tell, places to explore, and people to protect," says Gerighty, emphasizing the wealth of untapped potential within The Division universe.
Gerighty's unwavering commitment extends to delivering the highest quality in every facet of The Division. He explains, "I think that we delivered that with Tom Clancy’s The Division’s cutting-edge visuals, incredible gameplay, and promise to the player that they can't get this experience anywhere else, and then again with Tom Clancy’s The Division 2. It’s about refinement, it's about pushing the quality bar consistently forward."
While Julian Gerighty is returning to The Division Brand, he remains fully dedicated to the success of Star Wars Outlaws. He will continue to oversee the project until its launch to ensure that the game realizes its intended creative vision and provides an exceptional experience for players.
In closing, when asked if there's anything else he'd like to share about The Division's future, Gerighty highlights the extraordinary talent within Ubisoft's development teams. "There are a huge number of talented developers currently working on the brand, and I think that having more consistency can only make everybody's work sing."
The return of Julian Gerighty to The Division universe has sparked anticipation and excitement among gamers on Twitter, promising an even brighter future for this captivating gaming franchise. Stay tuned for more updates on The Division and its thrilling adventures.
