The supremely Warhammer 40K-coded sci-fi shooter, Helldivers 2, is about to hit tabletops around the world thanks to Steamforged Games – the very same board game studio that brought us the Monster Hunter World board game series.

For a little context, the original Helldivers 2, by Arrowhead Game Studios, was the fastest-selling Playstation 5 game to ever hit the shelves. That's around 12 million copies in its 12 weeks. With the leap into tabletop territory, there's no telling if we'll have one of the best board games on our hands.

Honestly, I'm not the biggest fan of shooters and I struggle to see the draw of a board game loaded with pistols, machine guns, and flamethrowers, but I think if anyone can pull it off it's Steamforged Games.

Helldivers 2: The Board Game will be launching its crowdfunding campaign on April 8, so buckle up and get ready to dispense peace with the ultimate weaponry. And if you want to follow the Gamefound campaign, head on over and sign up for updates.
