The gritty world of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A collaboration was established to create a TTRPG set within the series' apocalyptic setting. This initiative has been announced, with a crowdfunding campaign planned to launch in April of 2026.

"This endeavor will bring the franchise’s distinctive tension, tactical intensity, and memorable setting to the tabletop, offering fans a fresh avenue to experience The Division through immersive storytelling and player-driven missions," reads an announcement.

Initial offerings will include a beginner's box, core rulebooks, a Game Master screen, miniatures, and various deluxe editions.

Exploring The Division's Dystopian World

In this setting, a deadly virus known as Green Poison was released in New York City, sending the nation into chaos. As the pandemic worsens, society crumbles and hostile groups emerge, transforming the city into a battlefield. To restore order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of sleeper agents. That’s where the players come in.

Development on the game has been underway for approximately three years, and it is confirmed to be finished. The forthcoming Kickstarter campaign will function as a pre-launch sales platform to access a wider market, particularly in the United States. Manufacturing will start immediately following the campaign, with shipping expected for later in 2026.

A Streamlined Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

A preview at the system reveals it uses d10s exclusively through its new GRIS system, encouraging a streamlined and strategic approach. Agents leverage abilities to assemble a handful of dice, usually from one to five d10s.

• Instead of summing the total, players select a single “resolution die” from the group.
• This dice is then compared against a target difficulty.
• Rolling a perfect 10 triggers special effects, such as extra damage or boosted support.

Engagements Emphasize Positioning and Awareness

Fights stress placement and environmental awareness, mirroring the source material. Factors like taking cover, elevation, or visibility directly influence success chances. This mechanic seems built to reward coordination and clever tactics over raw numbers.

A Thematic Health System

The way health is tracked adds a interesting thematic twist. Operatives have a injury limit; taking heavy hits reduces their capabilities by decreasing the size of their dice pool.

1. At zero health, an operative collapses, but is not unconscious.
2. They can still move and take limited actions, simulating the last stand common to many shooter games.
3. Any agent in this state must roll on a trauma table, potentially gaining persistent effects like trauma or crippling injuries.

A Ready-to-Play Adventure

A free introductory rulebook will be released in the near future. It includes a pre-made introductory scenario titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, the group spearhead the search for a lost doctor squad and must thwart an attack by the violent Rikers faction, who have seized control of that NYC neighborhood. More specifics and the full range of offerings are expected to be detailed closer to the Kickstarter start date.
