The Division: Definitive Edition leak suggests remaster coming

The original Tom Clancy's The Division might be getting a facelift just in time for its 10th anniversary. According to a report by Video Games Chronicle (VGC), The Division: Definitive Edition leak from a poster spotted at a Ubisoft event in Japan suggests an announcement could be imminent.

While Ubisoft hasn't officially confirmed the project, the timing aligns perfectly with the series' milestone. If accurate, this would give fans a way to revisit the snowy streets of New York while waiting for the next mainline entry.

The leak explained

The promotional material reportedly appeared at "FPS Day," a Ubisoft esports event in Japan focused on shooters like Rainbow Six: Siege and The Division 2. Images shared on social media show a poster clearly displaying the title "The Division: Definitive Edition."

This sighting coincides with a scheduled 10th-anniversary panel for the franchise at the same event. It is common for publishers to use these community moments to reveal remasters or collections, and a "Definitive Edition" usually implies the base game bundled with all DLC, potentially with resolution or frame rate boosts for current-gen consoles.

If you are following other shooter news, you might have seen the recent rumours about Call of Duty on Nintendo Switch 2, which shows how active the rumour mill is right now.

The Division 3 Update: What's the status?

For those worried that a remaster might replace a new game, don't panic. The existence of a Definitive Edition doesn't mean the sequel is cancelled. In fact, Massive Entertainment has been clear about its priorities regarding The Division 3 update.

Julian Gerighty, Executive Producer at Massive Entertainment, previously confirmed that The Division 3 is well underway. "The Division 3 is in production, right? This is not a secret; it’s been announced. It’s shaping up to be a monster," Gerighty said, providing a clear The Division 3 update for fans.

It is likely this Definitive Edition is intended to bridge the gap between releases, similar to how other studios handle long development cycles. We saw a similar strategy discussed recently regarding Shift Up's staff rewards, where studio success with one title fuels the development of the next.

What to expect in UAE

Since this is currently an unconfirmed leak, we don't have UAE pricing or release dates yet. However, Ubisoft titles typically launch globally, so we can expect a UAE release alongside the rest of the world.

If this follows the pattern of other "Definitive Editions," expect it to land on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It remains to be seen if it will be a paid upgrade for existing owners or a standalone purchase. Given the age of the original 2016 game, a full remaster would likely command a price closer to Dhs 150-200 rather than a full Dhs 279 release, but that is speculation until we get official word.

With game file sizes only getting bigger, you might want to look at storage upgrades like the new Seagate 32TB hard drives if you plan to keep both the original and the definitive edition installed.
