We’ve known The Division Heartland, a new free-to-play take on the MMO-shooter franchise, was in the works for over the year, but today at the most recent Ubisoft Forward showcase, we got a first look at the game. Developed by Red Storm Entertainment, Heartland takes place in the small town of Silver Falls, but otherwise looks to deliver typical The Division gameplay, as players team up to take on enemy factions and other threats. You can check out the trailer for yourself, below.

　　Honestly, aside from being free-to-play, I’m not exactly sure what sets The Division Heartland apart. It’s just The Division with a smaller map and what appears to be pretty questionable visuals. Perhaps the non-existent price tag will make the game a hit, but right now, I’m skeptical. Need to know more? Here’s an official description and key features…

　　"The Division Heartland in an upcoming free-to-play multiplayer shooter. This survival-action game will take Division Agents to a new rural location, the midwestern American town of Silver Creek. It's a quiet hamlet that has been ravaged by the Dollar Flu and become a hotbed of Division activity thanks to the secrets it hides. Select from a new roster of playable characters and explore the town as you fight alongside and against other players."
