Steamforged Games has revealed the Helldivers 2 board game, based on the hit video game, is in the works. In the game players will look to protect Super Earth from alien threats by way of tactical squad battles. The game is set to hit GameFound on April 8th.
Today’s announcement from Steamforged:
Steamforged Games, leading studio for adapting video games to the tabletop, is excited to announce an upcoming crowdfunding campaign for the official tabletop adaptation of HELLDIVERS 2, the wildly popular sci-fi shooter series developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The campaign is set to launch April 8, 2025 on Gamefound.
A squad-based shooter in which players must spread democracy across the galaxy through overwhelming force, HELLDIVERS 2 has been a critical and commercial success, building a dedicated community of fans through its intense, chaotic, and comedic gameplay. Released in February 2024, HELLDIVERS 2 sold over 12 million copies in its first 12 weeks across PS5® and PC, making it the fastest-selling PlayStation video game of all time. It received a number of accolades, including Best Multiplayer Game at both The Game Awards 2024 and the Golden Joystick Awards 2024.
HELLDIVERS 2: The Board Game will match the fast-paced, tactical, tongue-in-cheek energy of the video game, plunging 1-4 players into an intergalactic struggle to protect Super Earth and rid the galaxy of alien threats in the name of liberty and democracy. Armed with deadly weapons (pistols, machine guns, flamethrowers), powerful stratagems (turrets, airstrikes, etc.), and coordinated tactics, players will work in squads to chellomplete high-risk missions, navigate hostile battlefields, call in reinforcements, and overcome enemy swarms.
Just as in the video games, players will need to contend with evolving threats and objectives, as well as watch out for explosions and friendly fire. Every decision can mean the difference between glorious victory or total annihilation in service of Super Earth.
Steamforged Games is a proven force in adapting video games for the tabletop, creating faithful translations that resonate with video and tabletop gamers alike. The extensive Steamforged Games library already includes major licensed video game properties such as ELDEN RING, Monster Hunter: World, DARK SOULS, Resident Evil, and most recently Hearts of Iron.
Shams Jorjani, CEO of Arrowhead, said:
“As passionate tabletop gamers ourselves, we’re delighted to partner with Steamforged to bring Helldivers 2 into a whole new realm. The game’s intense action is a perfect fit for the tabletop experience, and we can’t wait for players to blast their way through its chaotic and challenging missions soon.”
Mat Hart, co-founder and CCO at Steamforged Games, said:
“HELLDIVERS 2 is a perfect fit for the tabletop, and as big fans of the game, we consider it a huge privilege to be making it happen. We couldn’t be more excited to bring its high-octane, co-op mayhem to the board game world. Players can expect heroic last stands, spectacularly avoidable friendly-fire, and the kind of cinematic action that turns every gaming session into a glorious war story. For liberty!”
Steamforged will launch a crowdfunding campaign for HELLDIVERS 2: The Board Game on Gamefound on April 8, 2025. Fans of fast-paced combat, tongue-in-cheek humour, and spectacular action can expect more details shared via the campaign’s Gamefound page in the coming weeks.
