The intense universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division is being translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A partnership was established to create a TTRPG set within the series' apocalyptic landscape. This initiative was revealed, with a funding drive scheduled to launch in the spring of 2026.

"This endeavor aims to deliver the franchise’s distinctive tension, tactical intensity, and iconic world-building to the table, providing fans a fresh avenue to experience The Division through deep narrative and player-driven missions," reads an official release.

Launch products are set to feature a beginner's box, core rulebooks, a Game Master screen, miniatures, and several deluxe editions.

As the crisis worsens, civil order breaks down and violent factions rise, transforming the city into a battlefield. To restore law and order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of undercover operatives. This is where the players come in.

Work on the game has been in progress for approximately several years, and it is confirmed to be complete. The forthcoming Kickstarter campaign will function as a pre-launch sales platform to access a wider market, particularly in the United States. Manufacturing is slated to begin right after the campaign, with shipping expected for later in 2026.

A Streamlined Tactical System: The GRIS System

An early look at the game's rules confirms it uses d10s predominantly through its proprietary GRIS system, encouraging a fast-paced and strategic style. Players use abilities to assemble a handful of dice, typically from one to five d10s.

• Instead of summing the total, participants choose a single “resolution die” from the group.
• This dice is then compared against a set challenge number.
• Rolling a natural 10 triggers additional bonuses, such as extra damage or boosted support.

Engagements Focus On Tactical Placement and Awareness

Fights prioritize placement and situational awareness, mirroring the video games. Factors like taking cover, elevation, or line of sight have a direct impact success chances. This mechanic is designed to reward teamwork and smart positioning instead of simple statistics.

A Novel Wound System

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

2. They can still crawl and perform restricted acts, simulating the "downed" state seen in many shooter games.
3. Any player knocked down must roll on a injury chart, risking lingering conditions like shock or mobility-impairing wounds.

A Ready-to-Play Adventure

A publicly available Quickstart Guide will be released in the near future. It contains a pre-made starting adventure titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, the group lead the hunt for a lost doctor squad and work to stop an assault by the notorious Rikers gang, who have seized control of that NYC neighborhood. More specifics and the complete product lineup will be detailed closer to the campaign launch.
