If you have been waiting for Helldivers 2 to go full Astra Militarum, the date is locked. Arrowhead and PlayStation's official trailer puts the Helldivers 2 x Warhammer 40,000: Castellan's Creed Legendary Warbond in the Acquisitions Center on August 12, 2026. The theme is Cadian Kasrkin, not Space Marines. Hot-shot rifles, bolt pistol, meltagun stratagem, and True Grit armor passives are the loadout map.
Date, platforms, and how you unlock it
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Live date | August 12, 2026 |
| Platforms | PS5 and PC (same as the base game) |
| Product | Legendary Warbond: Castellan's Creed |
| Theme | Astra Militarum Cadian Kasrkin |
| Token note | **Cannot** be claimed with a Premium Warbond token |
| Requirements | Base game, Super Credits, and progression to unlock |
PlayStation's trailer copy is blunt on timing:
HELLDIVERS™ 2 x WARHAMMER 40,000 Legendary Warbond is available from August 12th 2026
Steam's High Command post frames the fiction: gear recreated for Helldivers who died defending Chara in the First Galactic War, inspired by Kasrkin.
Full Castellan's Creed checklist
| Slot | Item | What it does (official copy) |
|---|---|---|
| Primary | R/40-K Hot-Shot Marksman Rifle | Precision Charan rifle; deadly close and long |
| Sidearm | P/40-K Bolt Pistol | Versatile stopping power |
| Stratagem | 40-K Meltagun | Short-range superheated beam |
| Throwable | G/40-K Meltamine | Proximity burst mine; friendly fire risk |
| Medium armor | TG-8 Sharpshooter | True Grit: +20 weapon handling, +30% support-weapon reload speed |
| Heavy armor | TG-122 Demo-Trooper | Same True Grit passive |
| Cosmetics | Camo Cloak, City Fighter's Resolve | Cape / player card sets |
| Title | Still Standing | Title unlock |
| Pattern | Castellan's Green | Vehicle / gear pattern |
That is the utility read: two armors share True Grit, the meltagun is a stratagem (not a backpack support gun in the notes), and Meltamine is explicitly dangerous to teammates if you plant badly.
Confirmed vs not confirmed
| Confirmed | Not confirmed in the trailer / Steam notes |
|---|---|
| August 12, 2026 release | Exact Super Credit price in this post (check Acquisitions on launch day; prior Legendary Warbonds have sat at 1500 SC) |
| Full item list above | Whether every region unlocks at the same local hour |

What to do next
Bank Super Credits before August 12 if you want Castellan's Creed day one, and do not plan on spending a Premium Warbond token on it. Watch the official trailer above, then grab the Warbond in-game when Acquisitions flips. Primary briefing: Steam announcement for Helldivers 2 and the PlayStation trailer.
