The gritty universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division will be translated into a tabletop role-playing experience. A partnership was established to develop a tabletop RPG set within the franchise’s post-pandemic landscape. The project was revealed, with a funding drive planned to launch in the spring of 2026.

"This endeavor will bring the series' unique suspense, strategic depth, and memorable setting to the tabletop, providing fans a fresh avenue to engage with The Division through immersive storytelling and player-driven missions," reads an announcement.

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

Delving Into The Division's Dystopian World

In this universe, a lethal pathogen called Green Poison was released in New York City, sending the nation into chaos. As the pandemic worsens, civil order breaks down and hostile groups rise, transforming the urban landscape into a battlefield. To preserve order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of sleeper agents. That’s where the agents enter the story.

Work on the game has been in progress for about several years, and it is reportedly finished. The upcoming Kickstarter campaign will function as a preorder system to access a broader market, specifically in North America. Production is slated to begin immediately following the fundraiser, with deliveries projected for the latter part of 2026.

An Innovative Tactical System: The GRIS System

An early look at the system reveals it employs d10s exclusively through its new GRIS system, promoting a fast-paced and tactical style. Agents leverage skills or traits to roll a handful of dice, usually from one to five d10s.

• Instead of adding results together, participants choose a single “result die” from the group.
• This die is then compared against a target difficulty.
• Rolling a perfect 10 grants special effects, such as extra damage or boosted support.

Engagements Focus On Tactical Placement and Awareness

Fights stress placement and environmental awareness, reflecting the source material. Factors like cover, elevation, or line of sight directly influence dice rolls. This system seems built to reward coordination and smart positioning instead of raw numbers.

A Novel Health Mechanic

The way injuries is tracked adds a compelling thematic twist. Agents have a injury limit; taking heavy hits reduces their capabilities by decreasing the number of d10s.

1. At critical condition, an agent collapses, but is not knocked out.
2. They can still crawl and perform restricted acts, emulating the last stand common to many shooter games.
3. Any player in this state must consult a trauma table, potentially gaining lingering conditions like trauma 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 mission, the group lead the hunt for a lost doctor squad and must thwart an attack by the notorious Rikers faction, who have seized control of that NYC neighborhood. Further information and the complete product lineup are expected to be unveiled near the Kickstarter start date.
