The intense universe from Tom Clancy’s The Division will be translated into a tabletop role-playing experience. A partnership was established to develop a tabletop RPG set within the franchise’s post-pandemic landscape. The project was revealed, with a funding drive planned to launch in the spring of 2026.
"This project will bring the franchise’s distinctive tension, strategic depth, and memorable setting to the table, providing fans a new way to experience The Division through deep narrative and mission-based gameplay," reads an official release.
Initial offerings will include a beginner's box, essential manuals, a Game Master screen, figurines, and various premium versions.

The way health is managed adds a compelling narrative layer. Operatives have a wound threshold; sustaining too much damage reduces their capabilities by decreasing the number of d10s.
A publicly available Quickstart Guide is promised soon. It contains a pre-made starting adventure called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, players spearhead the search for a missing medical team and work to stop an assault by the notorious Rikers faction, who have seized control of that NYC neighborhood. Further information and the full range of offerings are expected to be unveiled near the campaign launch.
