According to Keith Edwards, the game's creative director, Heartland will feature 'streamlined survival gameplay'. Red Storm Entertainment led the development of the free-to-play title, while RedLynx and Ubisoft Romania provided assistance.

The artificial intelligence of the enemies in the game will be more alert at night. The game also featuers a day-night cycle. Players need to use breathing filters in order to access these areas, but the loot they will receive will be much more valuable. The location of the Contamination Zones in the game is always shifting. Contamination Zones replace the Dark Zones from previous games. For instance, players need to manage their hydrataion level. In addition, the game incorporate elements from survival games. At launch, the game features three character classes (weapons expert, medic, or survivalist) and six playable characters.

The second mode is named Excursion Operations, a player-versus-environment mode in which players can complete missions and collect loot/gear. In this mode, players must fend off against agents from a rogue factions known as the Vultures while surviving a virus. The first mode, 'Storm Operations', is a player-versus-player-versus-environment mode which can support a maximum of 45 players. Unlike the first two games in the series, Heartland is set in rural America and the fictional town of Silver Creek. Heartland is set to be released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, and Amazon Luna.
