If you have ever wanted to step into the post pandemic world of the popular video game franchise and forge your own path, Arkhane Asylum Publishing is bringing that experience to your table. Launching as a massive success on Kickstarter, Tom Clancy's The Division The Official Tabletop Roleplaying Game translates the tactical combat and intense survival elements of the video games into a narrative driven tabletop experience. It allows players to create unique agents, manage resources, and make difficult decisions that shape the story.

CONCEPT
The core concept is Narrative Survival. Arkhane Asylum Publishing believes that the rich lore of the video game universe deserves a platform where player choices truly matter. By moving the focus from pure shooting mechanics to storytelling and resource management, they aim to offer a deeper, more personal experience where your squad's decisions directly impact the survival of the community.
INSPIRATION
The project was inspired by the expansive world built by Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft. The team at Arkhane Asylum, known for creating immersive roleplaying universes, saw an opportunity to explore the human element of the crisis. They wanted to translate the tension of navigating a ruined city and the camaraderie of a squad into a tabletop format, giving fans a new way to experience the iconic franchise.
