The HELLDIVERS 2 x Warhammer 40,000: Castellan’s Creed Legendary Warbond
Beginning today, a new warbond** will be available for purchase which offers armors, weapons, and vehicle patterns for players to customize their Helldiver. The HELLDIVERS 2 x Warhammer 40,000: Castellan’s Creed Legendary Warbond brings iconic elements of Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 universe into HELLDIVERS 2, drawing inspiration from the Cadian Kasrkin, the elite shock assault troops of Warhammer 40,000’s Astra Militarum.
A Dark New Chapter Begins with “Devoid of Liberty”
The Galactic War enters darker territory with “Devoid of Liberty,” a new horror-themed narrative arc beginning today that introduces the first signs of a nightmarish threat emerging from a mysterious void in the galaxy.
The opening chapter will send players toward the void as mutated Illuminate organisms begin appearing across the battlefield. As the story unfolds, the void will warp everything it touches, leading players into a new biome and transforming familiar foes into hideous new forms.
The Helldivers franchise will expand further with a film adaptation from Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions, scheduled for theatrical release on November 10, 2027.
