The gritty universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division will be translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A collaboration was established to create a tabletop RPG that explores the franchise’s post-pandemic setting. This initiative has been announced, with a crowdfunding campaign scheduled to begin in the spring of 2026.

"This endeavor will bring the series' unique suspense, strategic depth, and memorable setting to the table, providing fans a new way to experience The Division through deep narrative and mission-based gameplay," states an announcement.

Initial offerings will include a starter set, essential manuals, a Game Master screen, figurines, and several deluxe editions.

As the pandemic escalates, society crumbles and hostile groups emerge, transforming the city into a warzone. To restore order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of sleeper agents. That’s where the agents enter the story.

Work on the game has been underway for approximately several years, and it is reportedly complete. The upcoming crowdfunding effort will function as a pre-launch sales platform to access a broader audience, specifically in North America. Manufacturing is slated to begin immediately following the fundraiser, with deliveries projected for later in 2026.

A Streamlined Tactical System: The GRIS System

An early look at the system reveals it uses 10-sided dice predominantly through its new GRIS system, encouraging a fast-paced and tactical style. Agents use abilities to roll small dice pools, typically from one to five d10s.

• Instead of summing the total, players choose a single “result die” from the pool.
• This dice is then compared against a target difficulty.
• Rolling a natural 10 grants additional bonuses, such as extra damage or boosted support.

A Thematic Wound Mechanic

The way injuries is managed adds a compelling thematic twist. Agents have a injury limit; taking heavy hits reduces their capabilities by decreasing the size of their dice pool.

2. They can still crawl and take limited actions, emulating the last stand seen in video game shooters.
3. Any player in this state must roll on a trauma table, potentially gaining lingering conditions like trauma or mobility-impairing wounds.

A Ready-to-Play Scenario

A free introductory rulebook will be released soon. It contains a ready-to-play introductory scenario titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, players spearhead the search for a lost doctor squad and must thwart an assault by the violent Rikers gang, who have seized control of that Manhattan district. More specifics and the complete product lineup will be detailed near the campaign launch.
