The hit video game Helldivers 2 now has a cardboard adaptation from Steamforged Games. Players embody the titular Helldivers as they fight across the galaxy in the name of Super Earth, complete with a little too much patriotism. Helldivers 2: The Board Game features expansions for the insectoid Terminids and the robotic Automatons. Currently, there are two mystery expansions that will presumably be the enigmatic Illuminate. You can find Helldivers 2: The Board Game 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 complete high-risk missions, navigate hostile battlefields, call in reinforcements, and overcome enemy swarms.
