The gritty universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division will be adapted into a tabletop role-playing experience. A partnership was established to develop a TTRPG set within the franchise’s post-pandemic setting. The project has been announced, with a crowdfunding campaign planned to launch in the spring of 2026.

"This endeavor will bring the series' unique suspense, tactical intensity, and memorable setting to the table, offering fans a new way to experience The Division through immersive storytelling and mission-based gameplay," reads an official release.

Initial offerings are set to feature a starter set, essential manuals, a GM screen, figurines, and various deluxe editions.

Delving Into The Division's Dystopian World

In this setting, a deadly virus known as Green Poison was unleashed in New York City, sending the United States into chaos. As the pandemic escalates, society crumbles and violent factions emerge, transforming the urban landscape into a battlefield. To preserve law and order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of sleeper agents. This is where the agents enter the story.

Development on the game has been underway for about several years, and it is reportedly finished. The forthcoming crowdfunding effort will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to access a wider audience, particularly in North America. Manufacturing will start right after the campaign, with deliveries expected for later in 2026.

An Innovative Tactical System: The GRIS System

An early look at the system reveals it uses 10-sided dice predominantly through its proprietary GRIS system, encouraging a fast-paced and strategic style. Players leverage skills or traits to assemble a handful of dice, typically between one and five d10s.

• Instead of summing the total, players choose a single “result die” from the pool.
• This die is then compared against a set challenge number.
• Rolling a natural 10 grants additional bonuses, such as increased harm or boosted support.

Engagements Focus On Tactical Placement and Situational Insight

Battles prioritize placement and environmental awareness, reflecting the source material. Elements like cover, height advantage, or line of sight directly influence success chances. This system seems built to reward coordination and smart positioning over raw numbers.

A Novel Wound Mechanic

The way health is tracked adds a interesting narrative layer. Agents have a injury limit; sustaining too much damage reduces their effectiveness by lowering the number of d10s.

1. At critical condition, an agent collapses, but they’re not unconscious.
2. They may still move and take limited actions, emulating the "downed" state common to video game shooters.
3. Any agent in this state must roll on a injury chart, risking lingering conditions like shock or crippling injuries.

An Introductory Scenario

A free introductory rulebook is promised in the near future. It includes a ready-to-play introductory scenario called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, players spearhead the hunt for a lost doctor squad and must thwart an assault by the notorious Rikers faction, who have seized control of that Manhattan district. More specifics and the complete product lineup will be unveiled near the campaign launch.
