The news came in an announcement from Ubisoft that Julian Gerighty had been appointed as the Executive Producer for The Division brand, and will move back to the brand once Star Wars Outlaws (which he’s currently Creative Director of) ships.

It’s a privilege and an honor to be able to continue to build incredible and unforgettable experiences in this amazing world with the most talented teams around the world, and I can’t wait for what’s next.”
Tom Clancy’s The Division originally launched in 2016, as an online-only action role-playing game. The game was set in a near future New York City following the aftermath of a viral pandemic, and saw players fighting across an empty Manhattan. A sequel was released in 2019, and a spin-off game — Tom Clancy’s The Division Heartland — is also currently in development.
