The upcoming crowdfunding effort will serve as a preorder system to reach a broader market, particularly in the United States. Production will start right after the fundraiser, with shipping projected for the latter part of 2026.
An Innovative Tactical System: The GRIS System
An early look at the game's rules confirms it uses d10s exclusively through its proprietary GRIS system, promoting a streamlined and tactical style. Agents leverage abilities to roll a handful of dice, typically between one and five d10s.
- Rather than summing the total, players choose a single “resolution die” from the group.
- This die is then compared against a set challenge number.
- Rolling a perfect 10 grants special effects, such as increased harm or boosted support.

More specifics and the complete product lineup are expected to be unveiled near the campaign launch.
