Developer [Red Storm Entertainment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-division-2-survivors) works together with [Ubisoft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xdefiant) to present a closer visual of the Division Heartland. It does so through a new cinematic trailer for the highly anticipated game during the publisher's Division Dat event. The trailer highlights a brand new rural town dubbed Silver Creek and it is the main setting of the [free-to-play game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/destiny-rising).

It also introduces a new villain by the name of Killiam Tower who disavowed the Division and then followed by killing his entire team. It shows that players will be able to take control of an agent in the game and track down Killian Tower to rural America.
