Project Overview
Tom Clancy's The Division 2 is an action role-playing game developed by Massive Entertainment. Set in post-apocalyptic Washington D.C., the game combines looter-shooter mechanics with tactical combat in a persistent online world.
As a UI Technical Artist at Massive Entertainment, I joined the team during the critical transition from pre-production to production, contributing to the development of key gameplay UI elements including the HUD and megamap systems. My work extended through the game's launch and into post-launch content, including seasonal updates and the major Warlords of New York expansion.
