00:02Hey everyone, we're so excited to show you Heartland, an all-new stand-alone adventure in the Division Universe.
00:08The teams poured their heart into this game and we can't wait to share it with you.
00:14Welcome to Silver Creek.
00:19Heartland's a free-to-play survival action shooter set in the Division Universe that features streamlined survival gameplay and a
00:25beautiful new world to explore.
00:27Filled with dynamic PvEVP gameplay.
00:31In Heartland, you play as a Division agent, given the task of protecting Silver Creek, a small town in Middle
00:37America.
00:38It's your job to keep the town safe from enemy factions, rogue agents, and a deadly contamination.
00:45Heartland explores what happened to small-town America when the green poison was unleashed on the world.
00:50While major metropolitan centers got aid from agencies like Sarah and the Division, what help did the Heartland get?
00:55This game ties directly into the timeline and introduces all new characters and storylines to the franchise.
01:05I'm Keith Evans, Creative Director on Heartland at Red Storm Entertainment.
01:10Hi, I'm Taylor Epperly. I'm the Associate Game Director on Heartland.
01:13I'm really excited for folks to see what the world of the Division looks like in small-town America.
01:18Hi, I'm Carrie Bland, Community Developer on Heartland, and I can't wait for our players to see all the hard
01:24work and dedication the team has put in.
01:27We've spent a year in closed tests, building on the experience, responding to the feedback we received, and have evolved
01:33towards a truly unique and exciting take on survival PvEVP gameplay.
01:42Heartland launches with a robust experience for players on day one.
01:45The player's first task is to help Mackenzie Reed get Silver Creek's base of operations back up and running.
01:50Players will be tasked with completing a set of missions and projects, all focused on the goals of exploring the
01:55town and gathering the supplies necessary to help prepare the base of operations.
01:59Every mission completed gives players the tools and strength necessary to survive.
02:03Silver Creek is a hostile environment, filled with deadly contamination, roaming enemy hordes, and the looming threat of sickness and
02:11dehydration.
02:12Players will have to be prepared if they hope to survive a full day in the town.
02:15As day turns to night, Silver Creek is sent into high alert.
02:19The survival threat increases, and dangerous PvEVP from rogue players and AI is introduced.
02:25Night is a deadly sandbox filled with unexpected threats, but there is that constant carrot of great rewards.
02:34As players progress, they unlock the ability to select one of three active classes.
02:39Every class brings something unique to the table, from the survivalist's ability to highlight loot behind walls,
02:44to the weapons expert ability to craft and deploy an assault turret.
02:49Combining these classes in a squad helps you overcome Silver Creek's toughest challenges.
02:54Where one teammate might be falling behind, you really want to make sure that you're picking up that weight.
02:59Talking together and working as a true unit is the best way to make sure you're successful in Silver Creek.
03:08Heartland features a deadly and unpredictable contamination that makes every trip into Silver Creek unique.
03:14To help you in your journey, you'll be able to fabricate supplies, prepare your go-back for each new day,
03:19making sure you can achieve even the toughest goals.
03:22The contamination shapes the areas of the map that are easily accessible,
03:25and using a filter protects agents from the contamination,
03:27but the filter depletes pretty quickly inside the contaminated areas.
03:30So depending on how many filters you have on hand, you might decide to head into a contaminated area
03:34and get some loot that other folks passed up.
03:37There's also the ever-present threat of dehydration.
03:40Dehydration can slow you down, so you really have to keep an eye out for fresh, non-contaminated water
03:44when you're out in Silver Creek.
03:46Try to be as prepared as possible.
03:48You're going to want to set yourself up for success out there.
03:50But if you do find yourself a little underprepared,
03:53hopefully you have a teammate that'll let you crawl inside their backpack.
03:56Who knows? Maybe they have juice boxes in there.
04:02In Silver Creek, Shade Agents are using the Rocket Rink
04:04and Abandoned Roller Skating Rink as their base of operations.
04:07For the first time in the Division, the entire base of operations is a shared space.
04:12You can socialize, form a group, customize your character, and prep for your next operation.
04:16Each session begins and ends in the base of operations,
04:19and you'll be talking to Carmelita, Kevin, and McKenzie quite often.
04:23Each time players exfiltrate back to their base of operations,
04:25they take the materials and gear they've collected and store it in their personal armory
04:30to help them prepare for future days in the town.
04:36When you're going up against rogue agents, you kind of get into a bit of a cat or mouse situation.
04:41For me, I'm definitely more of a mouse.
04:43You don't have to worry about rogue agents if they can't see you.
04:46There's a couple different strategies you can use against rogue players.
04:48I love using Heartland's class skills to set up ambushes,
04:51coordinating with my teammates to make sure we're repairing our armor as needed.
04:55And then when the shooting's done, I love looking through their loot and taking all the good stuff.
05:02Heartland will be a living game.
05:03The stories we tell on day one are just the beginning.
05:06We can't wait for players to dive in and take this journey with us.
05:09We're thrilled to take the next step as we enter our testing phase.
05:12Our community team will be looking at feedback shared across social channels and on our official forums
05:17while we evolve our game together with our community,
05:20shaping the long-term Heartland experience.
05:24The team is committed to creating the best possible experience for our players,
05:29and the community is invaluable in helping make that happen.
05:32I really think we've created something that the original survival players will recognize
05:36while also innovating with open-world operations, dynamic contamination.
05:40The team here at Redstorm is proud and feel we're really onto something.
05:43Heartland feels fresh and distinct while still feeling at home,
05:46alongside the other amazing games in this universe.
05:49Thank you for taking this journey with us.
05:51We can't wait to have you join us in Silver Creek.
