The gritty world of Tom Clancy’s The Division is being adapted into a dice-based role-playing experience. A collaboration was established to develop a tabletop RPG that explores the franchise’s post-pandemic landscape. The project has been announced, with a funding drive planned to launch in April of 2026.
"This project will bring the franchise’s distinctive tension, strategic depth, and memorable setting to the tabletop, providing fans a new way to engage with The Division through immersive storytelling and mission-based gameplay," reads an official release.
Initial offerings will include a beginner's box, core rulebooks, a Game Master screen, figurines, and several premium versions.

A publicly available introductory rulebook will be released soon. It contains a ready-to-play introductory scenario called Ashes of Murray Hill. In this mission, the group lead the search for a lost doctor squad and must thwart an assault by the violent Rikers gang, who have seized control of that NYC neighborhood. Further information and the complete product lineup are expected to be detailed near the campaign launch.
