Steamforged Games has announced an upcoming crowdfunding campaign for the official tabletop adaptation of Helldivers 2, the 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.
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.
“As passionate tabletop gamers ourselves, we’re delighted to partner with Steamforged to bring Helldivers 2 into a whole new realm,” said Helldivers 2. “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.”
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.
“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, said Mat Hart, co-founder and CCO at Steamforged Games. “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 humor, and spectacular action can expect more details shared via the campaign’s Gamefound page in the coming weeks.
