The game will be for one to four players and will feature al the aspects that players have come to expect about ‘Helldivers’, including friendly fire.
Steamforged released the belwo statement
“‘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 [sic] 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.
No other information about the board game was released.
