  • Rainbow Six Siege grand finals attendees have spotted a poster for The Division Definitive Edition
  • The potential re-release could be fully revealed this weekend (January 16-18)
  • 2026 marks the 10th anniversary of the multiplayer game

It seems that Tom Clancy's The Division might be getting a definitive edition in the near future.

According to Eurogamer, buzz has emerged from the Rainbow Six Siege APAC Cup grand finals in Japan. Attendees, including Domen Gaming on X / Twitter, have spotted a poster for Tom Clancy's The Division Definitive Edition, featuring new key art.

Additionally, user Kami states that Ubisoft may host a "10th anniversary commemorative premiere" for the game this weekend, between January 16-18.

This claim isn't far-fetched, as The Division will celebrate its 10th anniversary on March 7. It's plausible that Ubisoft wants to generate excitement for a Definitive Edition now.

Analysis: But Why?

Personally, I’m not entirely convinced that the game needs a Definitive Edition. The Division received a current-gen console update just last month.

However, I’m not opposed to the idea. The Division offers one of my favorite portrayals of New York in video games. Beyond the somewhat generic cover shooter gameplay, Ubisoft crafted a haunting, abandoned, snow-covered city rich in atmosphere, which I prefer over the sunlit Washington D.C. of The Division 2.

There’s also a possibility that a Definitive Edition could be released for Nintendo Switch 2. Ubisoft has successfully ported titles like Assassin's Creed Shadows and Star Wars Outlaws to the platform. We’ll see what unfolds this weekend, if anything.
