The crowdfunding campaign for Helldivers 2: The Board Game has already raised over one million dollars, showcasing just how eager fans are to experience this highly anticipated tabletop adaptation. Within just two days of its launch, the project managed to surpass its initial funding goal significantly, bringing in an impressive $1,030,972 for developer Steamforged Games.

This week, Steamforged Games launched the campaign on Gamefound, a popular crowdfunding platform. While the team initially aimed to secure $76,670, their ambitious goals were quickly overshadowed by overwhelming community support. Backers rallied behind the project, demonstrating immense enthusiasm for what promises to be a thrilling cooperative board game experience.

Designed for 1-4 players, Helldivers 2: The Board Game allows participants to step into the boots of Super Earth’s elite defenders—the Helldivers. Players can choose from various roles such as sniper, assault trooper, flamethrower operator, or captain as they battle against iconic foes like Terminids and Automatons. The game introduces strategic elements inspired by the video game, including stratagems, battlefield weapon pickups, talent progression systems, medal achievements, and high-stakes missions.

For those curious about the gameplay mechanics, the developers have released an extensive playthrough video that offers a deep dive into the experience. This demonstration session lasts nearly three hours and highlights key features and strategies players will encounter during their campaigns.

The crowdfunding campaign also provides several tiers for backers. The Commander pack is available for pre-order at 79, while the Galactic Commander tier costs 120, and the premium Hell Commander option goes for $321. Each tier comes with unique perks and components tailored to enhance the gaming experience. However, backers should note that the final product is expected to ship around October 2026.
