The intense universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division is being adapted into a dice-based role-playing experience. A collaboration has been formed to create a tabletop RPG set within the franchise’s post-pandemic setting. The project was revealed, with a funding drive scheduled to launch in April of 2026.

"This project will bring the series' unique suspense, tactical intensity, and iconic world-building to the table, providing fans a fresh avenue to engage with The Division through immersive storytelling and mission-based gameplay," reads an official release.

Launch products are set to feature a beginner's box, essential manuals, a Game Master screen, miniatures, and various premium versions.

Development on the game has been in progress for about several years, and it is reportedly complete.

Manufacturing is slated to begin immediately following the campaign, with deliveries expected for the latter part of 2026.

A Streamlined Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

An early look at the game's rules reveals it employs 10-sided dice exclusively through its new GRIS system, encouraging a streamlined and strategic style. Agents use abilities to assemble small dice pools, usually between one and five d10s.

A Ready-to-Play Adventure

A free Quickstart Guide will be released in the near future. It contains a pre-made starting adventure called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, the group spearhead the search for a lost doctor squad and work to stop an assault by the violent Rikers gang, who have taken over that NYC neighborhood. More specifics and the full range of offerings will be detailed near the campaign launch.
