The intense world of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be adapted into a dice-based role-playing experience. A partnership has been formed to develop a tabletop RPG set within the series' post-pandemic setting. This initiative has been announced, with a funding drive scheduled to begin in the spring of 2026.

"This endeavor will bring the franchise’s distinctive tension, tactical intensity, and memorable setting to the tabletop, offering fans a fresh avenue to engage with The Division through deep narrative and player-driven missions," reads an official release.

Initial offerings will include a beginner's box, essential manuals, a Game Master screen, figurines, and various premium versions.

Delving Into The Division's Dystopian World

In this setting, 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 hostile groups emerge, transforming the city into a warzone. To restore law and order, the government {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of sleeper agents. That’s where the players come in.

Development on the RPG has been in progress for about three years, and it is reportedly complete. The upcoming Kickstarter campaign will function as a pre-launch sales platform to reach a broader market, specifically in North America. Production will start 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 employs d10s exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, promoting a streamlined and tactical approach. Agents use skills or traits to roll a handful of dice, usually between one and five d10s.

• Rather than adding results together, participants select a single “resolution die” from the pool.
• This die is then compared against a target difficulty.
• Achieving a perfect 10 triggers additional bonuses, such as extra damage or boosted support.

Combat Focus On Tactical Placement and Situational Insight

Battles stress positioning and environmental awareness, mirroring the source material. Factors like taking cover, elevation, or visibility have a direct impact dice rolls. This mechanic seems built to favor coordination and clever tactics instead of raw numbers.

A Novel Wound Mechanic

The way injuries is tracked adds a interesting thematic twist. Operatives have a wound threshold; taking heavy hits reduces their effectiveness by lowering the number of d10s.

1. At zero health, an operative collapses, but is not unconscious.
2. They may still move and perform restricted acts, emulating the last stand seen in many shooter games.
3. Any agent in this state must consult a trauma table, potentially gaining lingering conditions like trauma or mobility-impairing wounds.

A Ready-to-Play Scenario

A free Quickstart Guide is promised in the near future. It includes 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 assault by the violent Rikers faction, who have seized control of that Manhattan district. Further information and the full range of offerings are expected to be unveiled near the Kickstarter start date.
