The forthcoming Kickstarter campaign will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to reach a wider audience, specifically in the United States. Production is slated to begin right after the fundraiser, with deliveries projected for the latter part of 2026.
An Innovative Tactical System: The GRIS System
An early look at the game's rules reveals it uses 10-sided dice exclusively through its new GRIS system, promoting a streamlined and tactical style. Agents use skills or traits to roll small dice pools, typically between one and five d10s.
- Rather than adding results together, participants select a single “result die” from the group.
- This die is then measured against a target difficulty.
- Achieving a perfect 10 grants additional bonuses, such as increased harm or enhanced aid.
Engagements Focus On Positioning and Awareness
Fights stress placement and environmental awareness, mirroring the video games. Factors like cover, height advantage, or line of sight have a direct impact success chances. This mechanic is designed to reward teamwork and smart positioning over simple statistics.

The way health is tracked adds a interesting thematic twist. Operatives have a injury limit; taking heavy hits weakens their capabilities by lowering the number of d10s.

An Introductory Scenario
A free Quickstart Guide is promised soon. It includes a pre-made introductory scenario titled Ashes of Murray Hill. In this scenario, players lead the search for a missing medical team 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 unveiled closer to the Kickstarter start date.
