The gritty universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division is being adapted into a tabletop role-playing experience. A collaboration was established to create a tabletop RPG set within the series' post-pandemic landscape. This initiative was revealed, with a funding drive scheduled to begin in April of 2026.

"This endeavor will bring the series' unique suspense, strategic depth, and iconic world-building to the tabletop, offering fans a fresh avenue to engage with The Division through immersive storytelling and player-driven missions," reads an announcement.

Initial offerings will include a beginner's box, core rulebooks, a Game Master screen, miniatures, and several deluxe editions.

Development on the RPG has been underway for approximately three years, and it is reportedly finished. The forthcoming Kickstarter campaign will function as a preorder system to reach a wider market, particularly in North America. Production is slated to begin right after the fundraiser, with deliveries expected for later in 2026.

A Streamlined Tactical System: The GRIS System

An early look at the game's rules reveals it employs 10-sided dice exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, promoting a streamlined and tactical approach. Agents leverage abilities to assemble small dice pools, usually from one to five d10s.

• This dice is then measured against a target difficulty.
• Rolling a natural 10 grants additional bonuses, such as extra damage or enhanced aid.

The way injuries is managed adds a compelling narrative layer. Operatives have a wound threshold; taking heavy hits weakens their effectiveness by decreasing the number of d10s.

2. They may still move and take limited actions, simulating the last stand seen in video game shooters.
3. Any agent knocked down must consult a injury chart, potentially gaining lingering conditions like shock or mobility-impairing wounds.

A Ready-to-Play Adventure

A free introductory rulebook is promised soon. It includes a pre-made introductory scenario called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, the group spearhead the hunt for a missing medical team and must thwart an assault by the notorious Rikers faction, who have seized control of that Manhattan district. Further information and the complete product lineup are expected to be detailed near the campaign launch.
