Arrowhead Games' CEO Johan Pilestedt emphasized that comedic elements in Helldivers 2 stem from his experience with tabletop RPGs, particularly Drakar och Demoner, inspiring the game's narrative structure.
Drakar och Demoner was first published in 1982 as a Swedish alternative to Dungeons & Dragons, offering a unique blend of role-playing experiences throughout its multiple editions.
The influence of Drakar och Demoner on Helldivers 2 highlights how tabletop games can significantly shape modern video game design, infusing comedy and collaborative storytelling.
In celebrating the 40th anniversary of Drakar och Demoner, Free League's Kickstarter for an English-language edition exemplifies the enduring legacy and appeal of tabletop RPGs in gaming culture.
