The intense world of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be adapted into a dice-based role-playing experience. A partnership was established to create a TTRPG set within the franchise’s post-pandemic setting. This initiative has been announced, with a funding drive scheduled to launch in April of 2026.

"This project aims to deliver the franchise’s distinctive tension, tactical intensity, and iconic world-building to the tabletop, offering fans a fresh avenue to experience The Division through deep narrative and player-driven missions," states an official release.

Launch products are set to feature a beginner's box, core rulebooks, a Game Master screen, figurines, and various premium versions.

Delving Into The Division's Dystopian World

In this universe, a deadly virus known as Green Poison was released in New York City, sending the United States into chaos. As the crisis worsens, society crumbles and violent factions emerge, transforming the city into a warzone. To restore law and order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of undercover operatives. This is where the agents enter the story.

Development on the game has been underway for approximately three years, and it is reportedly complete. The upcoming Kickstarter campaign will function as a pre-launch sales platform to access a broader market, particularly in North America. Manufacturing is slated to begin immediately following the fundraiser, with deliveries projected for later in 2026.

A Streamlined Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

A preview at the game's rules reveals it employs d10s exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, encouraging a streamlined and tactical approach. Agents leverage skills or traits to roll small dice pools, usually from one to five d10s.

• Rather than summing the total, players choose a single “result die” from the group.
• This die is then compared against a set challenge number.
• Achieving a natural 10 triggers additional bonuses, such as extra damage or boosted support.

Combat Focus On Tactical Placement and Awareness

Fights prioritize positioning and situational awareness, reflecting the video games. Factors like cover, height advantage, or visibility have a direct impact success chances. This system seems built to favor coordination and smart positioning over raw numbers.

A Thematic Wound System

The way injuries is managed introduces a compelling narrative layer. Operatives have a wound threshold; taking heavy hits reduces their capabilities by lowering the size of their dice pool.

1. At critical condition, an agent is downed, but is not knocked out.
2. They may still move and perform restricted acts, simulating the "downed" state common to video game shooters.
3. Any player in this state must roll on a trauma table, risking lingering conditions like shock or mobility-impairing wounds.

An Introductory Adventure

A free introductory rulebook is promised in the near future. It includes a ready-to-play introductory scenario titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, players lead the search for a missing medical team and must thwart an attack by the notorious Rikers gang, who have seized control of that NYC neighborhood. More specifics and the full range of offerings are expected to be detailed near the Kickstarter start date.
