The gritty universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division is being translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A partnership was established to develop a TTRPG set within the franchise’s post-pandemic landscape. This initiative has been announced, with a funding drive scheduled to launch in April of 2026.

"This endeavor aims to deliver the series' unique suspense, tactical intensity, and memorable setting to the tabletop, providing fans a fresh avenue to experience The Division through deep narrative and mission-based gameplay," states an announcement.

Launch products will include a beginner's box, core rulebooks, a Game Master screen, figurines, and several premium versions.

Delving Into The Division's Dystopian World

In this universe, a deadly virus called Green Poison was unleashed in New York City, plunging the United States into turmoil. As the crisis escalates, civil order breaks down and violent factions rise, turning the urban landscape into a battlefield. To restore law and order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of sleeper agents. That’s where the players enter the story.

Development on the game has been in progress for approximately three years, and it is confirmed to be finished. The forthcoming crowdfunding effort will function as a preorder system to reach a wider audience, particularly in North America. Manufacturing will start immediately following the campaign, with deliveries projected for the latter part of 2026.

An Innovative Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

An early look at the game's rules confirms it uses 10-sided dice predominantly through its new GRIS system, promoting a fast-paced and tactical style. Players use skills or traits to roll a handful of dice, usually between one and five d10s.

• Rather than summing the total, participants choose a single “resolution die” from the group.
• This die is then measured against a set challenge number.
• Rolling a natural 10 triggers additional bonuses, such as increased harm or enhanced aid.

Combat Focus On Positioning and Awareness

Fights stress positioning and environmental awareness, reflecting the source material. Elements like taking cover, elevation, or line of sight directly influence success chances. This system is designed to reward teamwork and clever tactics instead of simple statistics.

A Novel Health Mechanic

The way injuries is managed introduces a compelling narrative layer. Agents have a wound threshold; sustaining too much damage weakens their effectiveness by decreasing the number of d10s.

1. At critical condition, an agent collapses, but they’re not knocked out.
2. They can still crawl and take limited actions, emulating the "downed" state common to many shooter games.
3. Any agent knocked down must roll on a trauma table, potentially gaining persistent effects like shock or mobility-impairing wounds.

An Introductory Adventure

A publicly available introductory rulebook is promised in the near future. It includes a pre-made introductory scenario called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, the group lead the search for a missing medical team and work to stop an attack by the notorious Rikers faction, who have seized control of that Manhattan district. Further information and the complete product lineup are expected to be unveiled closer to the campaign launch.
