Key Objectives & background:

Key objective was to design and excecute title logo animation for Tom Clancy´s The Division Heartland game.

Tom Clancy's The Division (referred simply to as The Division) is a tactical shooter action role-playing video game developed by Massive Entertainment and published by Ubisoft. It is set in a near future New York City in the aftermath of a viral pandemic; the player, a Special Agent of the Strategic Homeland Division, is tasked with helping the group rebuild its operations in Manhattan, investigate the nature of the outbreak, and combat criminal activity in its wake. The Division is structured with elements of role-playing games, as well as cooperative and player versus player online multiplayer.

Tom Clancy's The Division Heartland was a planned free-to-play third person shooter action game developed by Red Storm Entertainment and published by Ubisoft. It was set to be a standalone spin-off set in The Division universe. Heartland was set to be released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S

Based on the story and background of The Division Heartland, I designed and presented several proposals to serve as the foundation for the logo animation.

From these creative concepts, a direction was chosen that stayed true to the game's narrative and matched its visual style. I then developed this direction further in collaboration with the Art Director responsible for the game at Red Storm Entertainment. The final result was a logo animation and a Heartland-branded Ubisoft boot-up animation, both intended to be featured in the final game.







Ubisoft announced cancellation of The Division Heartland on May 15, 2024.
