i’ve been a user on the linux version for around a couple of months, and i love the game and it’s enormous amount of ports! But there isn’t a haiku or actual console version. Which excludes a possibly good amount of players if they use haiku as a main operating system, a console like the Xbox 360, or neither.. but with the modern source code, you can technically fit an extra port for both haiku and console and put it up as a link on the download page!
(Or for haiku, On the HaikuDepot.)

Update 21/09/2026: There already was a Haiku port. but it’s neither on the depot or officially made. and unfortunately because of poor packaging, it doesn’t automatically install the dependencies. So if you’re gonna download the package, install the following:
SDL2
SDL2_image
SDL2_mixer
SDL2_ttf
SDL2_net
ffmpeg
Qt5
Lua 5.1 or 5.3
And physfs.

There is OUYA port: https://github.com/RyoSaeba89/hedgewars-ouya

Console version is very unlikely to happen. Publishing to consoles is very costly and not really compatible with GPL. Steam version took a long time to appear and it's only unofficial.

I was talking about a homebrew console version. Because there’s homebrew for consoles, that’s why I mentioned the Xbox 360 after the store shut down.
