The gritty world of Tom Clancy’s The Division is being translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A collaboration has been formed to develop a TTRPG set within the franchise’s post-pandemic landscape. This initiative has been announced, with a crowdfunding campaign planned to launch in the spring of 2026.

"This endeavor will bring the series' unique suspense, strategic depth, and memorable setting to the tabletop, offering fans a fresh avenue to experience The Division through deep narrative and player-driven missions," states an official release.

Initial offerings are set to feature a beginner's box, essential manuals, a Game Master screen, miniatures, and various deluxe editions.

Work on the game has been underway for approximately three years, and it is confirmed to be complete. The upcoming Kickstarter campaign will function as a pre-launch sales platform to access a wider audience, specifically in the United States. Production will start right after the fundraiser, with deliveries projected for the latter part of 2026.

An Innovative Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

An early look at the system reveals it employs 10-sided dice exclusively through its new GRIS system, promoting a streamlined and tactical approach. Players leverage skills or traits to assemble small dice pools, usually from one to five d10s.

• This dice is then compared against a target difficulty.
• Rolling a natural 10 grants special effects, such as extra damage or boosted support.

The way health is tracked introduces a interesting narrative layer. Agents have a injury limit; taking heavy hits reduces their effectiveness by decreasing the number of d10s.

3. Any player in this state must consult a injury chart, potentially gaining lingering conditions like trauma or crippling injuries.

An Introductory Scenario

A publicly available Quickstart Guide is promised soon. It includes a pre-made starting adventure titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, the group lead the search for a lost doctor squad and must thwart an assault by the notorious Rikers faction, who have seized control of that NYC neighborhood. Further information and the complete product lineup will be detailed closer to the Kickstarter start date.
