The Division Makes Its Way to the Tabletop Gaming World as a Deeply Strategic Tabletop Role-Playing Game

The intense world of Tom Clancy’s The Division is being adapted into a dice-based role-playing experience. A partnership has been formed to create a tabletop RPG set within the series' post-pandemic landscape. This initiative was revealed, with a funding drive scheduled to launch in the spring of 2026.

"This endeavor will bring the franchise’s distinctive tension, strategic depth, and memorable setting to the table, providing fans a new way to engage with The Division through deep narrative and player-driven missions," reads an announcement.

Initial offerings will include a starter set, essential manuals, a Game Master screen, figurines, and various deluxe editions.

Work on the RPG has been underway for approximately three years, and it is confirmed to be finished. The forthcoming crowdfunding effort will serve as a preorder system to access a wider market, particularly in North America. Manufacturing will start immediately following the fundraiser, with shipping expected for later in 2026.

An Innovative Gameplay Mechanic: The GRIS System

A preview at the system confirms it uses 10-sided dice predominantly through its proprietary GRIS system, promoting a fast-paced and tactical style. Agents leverage skills or traits to roll a handful of dice, usually from one to five d10s.

3. Any agent knocked down must roll on a trauma table, risking lingering conditions like shock or mobility-impairing wounds.

An Introductory Adventure

A publicly available Quickstart Guide will be released soon. It includes a pre-made introductory scenario called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, the group spearhead the hunt for a lost doctor squad and must thwart an assault by the violent Rikers faction, who have taken over that NYC neighborhood. Further information and the complete product lineup are expected to be detailed near the Kickstarter start date.
