The intense universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division will be translated into a dice-based role-playing experience. A collaboration has been formed to create a TTRPG set within the series' post-pandemic setting. The project was revealed, with a funding drive planned to launch in April of 2026.

"This endeavor aims to deliver the series' unique suspense, tactical intensity, and iconic world-building to the table, providing fans a fresh avenue to experience The Division through deep narrative and mission-based gameplay," states an official release.

Initial offerings will include a starter set, core rulebooks, a GM screen, miniatures, and several premium versions.

Development on the RPG has been in progress for about three years, and it is reportedly finished. The upcoming crowdfunding effort will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to access a broader audience, particularly in North America. Production is slated to begin right after the fundraiser, with shipping projected for later in 2026.

A Streamlined Tactical System: The GRIS System

An early look at the system reveals it uses 10-sided dice predominantly through its new GRIS system, promoting a fast-paced and strategic approach. Players leverage skills or traits to roll a handful of dice, typically between one and five d10s.

An Introductory Adventure

A publicly available Quickstart Guide will be released in the near future. It includes a pre-made introductory scenario called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, players spearhead the hunt for a lost doctor squad and work to stop an attack by the violent Rikers gang, who have seized control of that Manhattan district. More specifics and the complete product lineup are expected to be detailed near the campaign launch.
