Helldivers 2 x Warhammer 40K Warbond Release Countdown: All Global Release Times

The Helldivers 2 x Warhammer 40K Castellan’s Creed Legendary Warbond is almost here, with Cadian Kasrkin-inspired weapons, armor, and cosmetics arriving on August 12. If you’ve already checked out our full breakdown of everything included, there’s only one thing left to figure out: when can you actually start unlocking the toys in it?

Arrowhead hasn’t officially confirmed the exact launch hour yet, but recent Warbond releases give us a good indication of when Castellan’s Creed should go live. Here’s the expected release time for every major region, along with a countdown so you know exactly when to report for duty.

Helldivers 2 x Warhammer 40K Legendary Warbond Launch Times by Region

Arrowhead has yet to confirm an exact release time for the Castellan’s Creed Legendary Warbond. But, based on the timing we’ve seen for recent Helldivers 2 content, the update is expected to go live at around 2:00 AM PDT / 5:00 AM EDT on August 12, 2026.

There is some room for that to change. Several major updates and Warbonds have gone live later in the day, with 6:00 AM PDT / 9:00 AM EDT also being a possible launch window. We’ll update this article as soon as the devs provide an official time or give us a clear indication of when Castellan’s Creed will become available.

For now, here’s what the expected launch time looks like around the world:

And if you’d rather watch the clock run down:

Once the countdown reaches zero, Castellan’s Creed should be available through the Acquisitions terminal aboard your Super Destroyer, provided Arrowhead sticks to this release window. If the studio announces a different launch time before August 12, we’ll update the table and countdown above accordingly.

The August 12 update also looks set to be much bigger than a new Warbond. Arrowhead recently dropped a creepy 30-second Helldivers 2 teaser titled “Face the Unknown,” showing a Helldiver teddy bear being pulled into a strange void before cutting to the August 12 release date.

The studio hasn’t explained what we’re looking at yet, but the teaser has already fueled plenty of speculation about what’s coming for the Illuminate:

There’s also a long-awaited progression change on the way. Arrowhead previously announced (via Steam) that it plans to raise the Helldiver level cap from 150 to 300, and the August 12 update is expected to bring that change alongside the new content.

With a new Legendary Warbond, a potentially major Illuminate development, and a doubled level cap all arriving around the same time, August 12 could be one of the busier days Helldivers 2 has had in a while. What are you most looking forward to? Let us know in the comments below!
