The gritty world of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be adapted into a tabletop role-playing experience. A partnership was established to develop a tabletop RPG set within the series' apocalyptic setting. The project was revealed, with a crowdfunding campaign planned to begin in April of 2026.

"This project aims to deliver the franchise’s distinctive tension, strategic depth, and iconic world-building to the tabletop, offering fans a fresh avenue to engage with The Division through deep narrative and mission-based gameplay," reads an official release.

Launch products are set to feature a beginner's box, essential manuals, a Game Master screen, figurines, and several deluxe editions.

In this setting, a deadly virus known as Green Poison was unleashed in NYC, plunging the nation into chaos. As the pandemic worsens, civil order breaks down and hostile groups rise, transforming the urban landscape into a battlefield. To preserve order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a secret cell of undercover operatives. That’s where the agents come in.

Development on the game has been underway for approximately three years, and it is confirmed to be finished. The forthcoming Kickstarter campaign will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to reach a broader market, specifically in North America. Manufacturing will start immediately following the campaign, with deliveries expected for later in 2026.

An Innovative Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

An early look at the game's rules reveals it employs d10s exclusively through its new GRIS system, encouraging a streamlined and strategic approach. Agents use skills or traits to roll a handful of dice, usually from one to five d10s.

• Instead of adding results together, participants choose a single “resolution die” from the group.
• This dice is then compared against a target difficulty.
• Rolling a perfect 10 grants additional bonuses, such as extra damage or boosted support.

2. They can still move and take limited actions, simulating the last stand common to many shooter games.
3. Any agent knocked down must roll on a injury chart, risking persistent effects like trauma or crippling injuries.

A Ready-to-Play Scenario

A free introductory rulebook will be released in the near future. It includes a ready-to-play introductory scenario called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, players spearhead the hunt for a missing medical team and work to stop an attack by the violent Rikers faction, who have taken over that Manhattan district. Further information and the complete product lineup are expected to be detailed closer to the campaign launch.
