The project has been announced, with a crowdfunding campaign scheduled to begin in the spring of 2026. "This endeavor aims to deliver the franchise’s distinctive tension, tactical intensity, and iconic world-building to the table, providing fans a new way to engage with The Division through immersive storytelling and player-driven missions," reads an announcement.

Delving Into The Division's Apocalyptic World In this setting, a lethal pathogen called Green Poison was unleashed in NYC, sending the nation into turmoil. As the crisis worsens, society crumbles and hostile groups emerge, turning the urban landscape into a warzone. To preserve law and order, the authorities {activate|deploy] The Division, a covert network of sleeper agents. This is where the agents enter the story. Work on the RPG has been underway for approximately several years, and it is confirmed to be complete. The forthcoming crowdfunding effort will function as a preorder system to reach a broader market, particularly in North America. Manufacturing will start immediately following the campaign, with deliveries projected for the latter part of 2026. An Innovative Tactical System: The GRIS System A preview at the game's rules reveals it employs d10s predominantly through its new GRIS system, promoting a fast-paced and tactical approach. Agents leverage skills or traits to assemble small dice pools, typically from one to five d10s. Instead of adding results together, players choose a single “result die” from the group. This dice is then measured against a target difficulty. Rolling a natural 10 triggers special effects, such as extra damage or enhanced aid. Engagements Focus On Tactical Placement and Awareness Fights prioritize positioning and environmental awareness, mirroring the video games. Elements like cover, height advantage, or visibility have a direct impact dice rolls. This mechanic seems built to favor teamwork and clever tactics instead of simple statistics. A Thematic Health Mechanic The way injuries is tracked adds a interesting thematic twist. Operatives have a wound threshold; taking heavy hits reduces their capabilities by lowering the size of their dice pool. At zero health, an agent collapses, but is not knocked out. They can still move and perform restricted acts, emulating the "downed" state common to video game shooters. Any agent knocked down must consult a trauma table, risking lingering conditions like trauma or crippling injuries. An Introductory Scenario A publicly available introductory rulebook is promised in the near future. It includes a pre-made starting adventure called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, the group 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 closer to the campaign launch.
