For Liberty! Steamforged Games Announces Helldivers 2 Board Game, Launching on Gamefound

Get ready to spread managed democracy to your tabletop! Steamforged Games, the creators behind popular board game adaptations like Dark Souls: The Board Game and Horizon Zero Dawn: The Board Game, have just dropped a bombshell that’s sure to electrify Helldivers everywhere: an official tabletop adaptation of the smash-hit video game, Helldivers 2, is on its way!

Yes, you read that right. Soon, you’ll be able to gather your squad around the table and experience the chaotic, bug-squashing, and gloriously patriotic action of Helldivers 2 in a brand new way. This exciting announcement comes directly from Steamforged Games, promising an intergalactic struggle to protect Super Earth from the ever-present alien threats.

For those unfamiliar with the video game sensation, Helldivers 2, developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, throws players into the boots of elite soldiers tasked with defending humanity from hostile alien races. The game is known for its intense cooperative gameplay, strategic stratagem deployment, and, let’s be honest, the hilariously frequent friendly fire incidents.

Now, Steamforged Games is bringing that same level of adrenaline-pumping action to your tabletop. The board game will see players manning squads, armed to the teeth with iconic weaponry like pistols, machine guns, and, of course, the ever-satisfying flamethrower. Your mission? To complete high-risk objectives, navigate treacherous battlefields, and overcome overwhelming swarms of alien enemies. Prepare for strategic decision-making, tactical maneuvers, and the inevitable moments of glorious (and sometimes accidental) heroism.

Mat Hart, co-founder and CCO of Steamforged Games, couldn’t contain his excitement, stating, “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. 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!”

This quote perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Helldivers 2, and it sounds like Steamforged Games is committed to capturing the essence of the video game experience in their tabletop adaptation. We can already imagine the tense moments as you coordinate stratagems, desperately try to reinforce your fallen comrades, and maybe, just maybe, accidentally call in an airstrike on your best friend.

Mark your calendars, Helldivers! The crowdfunding campaign for the Helldivers 2 Board Game will launch on Gamefound on April 8, 2025. This is your chance to be among the first to secure your copy of this highly anticipated tabletop adaptation and join the fight for Super Earth in a whole new dimension.

Get ready to dive headfirst into the action. Prepare your squads, sharpen your democracy officer skills, and get ready for a tabletop experience that promises to be as thrilling and chaotic as the video game that inspired it.
