The intense world of Tom Clancy’s The Division is being translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A collaboration was established to create a tabletop RPG that explores the franchise’s apocalyptic landscape. This initiative was revealed, with a funding drive planned to launch in the spring of 2026.

"This endeavor aims to deliver the series' unique suspense, tactical intensity, and memorable setting to the tabletop, offering fans a new way to experience The Division through deep narrative and mission-based gameplay," states an official release.

Initial offerings are set to feature a starter set, essential manuals, a GM screen, miniatures, and several 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 serve as a preorder system to access a wider market, specifically in North America. Production is slated to begin immediately following the fundraiser, with shipping expected for the latter part of 2026.

A Streamlined Tactical System: The GRIS System

A preview at the game's rules confirms it employs 10-sided dice predominantly through its proprietary GRIS system, promoting a fast-paced and tactical approach. Players use abilities to roll a handful of dice, typically between one and five d10s.

• Rather than summing the total, participants choose a single “result die” from the pool.
• This dice is then measured against a set challenge number.
• Achieving a perfect 10 grants additional bonuses, such as increased harm or enhanced aid.

Engagements Emphasize Tactical Placement and Situational Insight

Fights stress positioning and situational awareness, mirroring the source material. Elements like cover, height advantage, or visibility have a direct impact success chances. This system seems built to reward coordination and smart positioning instead of simple statistics.

A Novel Wound System

The way health is tracked adds a interesting narrative layer. Operatives have a injury limit; taking heavy hits weakens their capabilities by lowering the size of their dice pool.

2. They may still crawl and perform restricted acts, simulating the "downed" state common to video game shooters.
3. Any player knocked down must consult a injury chart, potentially gaining persistent effects like shock or mobility-impairing wounds.

A Ready-to-Play Adventure

A publicly available Quickstart Guide will be released in the near future. It includes a pre-made introductory scenario called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, players lead the search for a lost doctor squad and work to stop an assault by the notorious Rikers faction, who have taken over that Manhattan district. Further information and the complete product lineup will be unveiled closer to the Kickstarter start date.
