The Division Heartland Reveals New Classes, Gameplay Footage, And More
As promised earlier this week, Ubisoft has given us a closer look at The Division Heartland, including new gameplay, classes, and much more. The first thing we get a look at is the game's day/night cycle, in which the world of Heartland gets much more dangerous as the sun goes down.

We also got a closer look at the game's class system, as you will be able to choose from three active classes as they progress - Weapons Expert, Medic, and Survivalist.
