The gritty world of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be translated into a tabletop role-playing experience. A partnership was established to create a TTRPG that explores the series' apocalyptic setting. This initiative was revealed, with a funding drive planned to begin in the spring of 2026.

"This project will bring the series' unique suspense, tactical intensity, and memorable setting to the tabletop, providing fans a fresh avenue to experience The Division through immersive storytelling and player-driven missions," states an official release.

Initial offerings are set to feature a starter set, essential manuals, a Game Master screen, miniatures, and various premium versions.

As the crisis worsens, society crumbles and hostile groups emerge, turning the city into a battlefield. To preserve order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of undercover operatives. That’s where the agents enter the story.

Work on the game has been in progress for approximately three years, and it is reportedly finished. The upcoming crowdfunding effort will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to reach a broader market, particularly in the United States. Production is slated to begin immediately following the campaign, with shipping expected for later in 2026.

An Innovative Tactical System: The GRIS System

An early look at the game's rules confirms it employs d10s predominantly through its proprietary GRIS system, promoting a streamlined and tactical approach. Players use skills or traits to assemble small dice pools, typically from one to five d10s.

• Rather than summing the total, players select a single “result die” from the pool.
• This dice is then measured against a set challenge number.
• Achieving a perfect 10 triggers additional bonuses, such as extra damage or boosted support.

2. They can still move and perform restricted acts, emulating the "downed" state seen in video game shooters.
3. Any player knocked down must consult a injury chart, potentially gaining lingering conditions like trauma or crippling injuries.

A Ready-to-Play Adventure

A free Quickstart Guide will be released in the near future. It contains a pre-made introductory scenario titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, players spearhead the hunt for a lost doctor squad and work to stop an attack by the notorious Rikers gang, who have seized control of that Manhattan district. More specifics and the complete product lineup are expected to be detailed closer to the Kickstarter start date.
