Helldivers 2 Developer Teases Warhammer 40,000 Collaboration

Following the exciting collaboration between the co-op shooter Helldivers 2 and the Killzone franchise, the gaming community has been buzzing with speculation about potential future crossovers, particularly with the iconic Warhammer 40,000 universe. The prospect of such a crossover has sparked intense discussions among fans, with many wondering if it could become a reality.

Some community members expressed skepticism about the feasibility of a collaboration with Warhammer 40,000, believing that Games Workshop, the franchise's owner, would not permit such a crossover. However, Arrowhead Studios' head, Shams Jorjani, addressed these concerns directly, stating, "I can say that GW would love a crossover, we're big fans of [Warhammer] 40k ourselves." This response has been interpreted by Helldivers 2 enthusiasts as a strong hint that a collaboration with Games Workshop could be on the horizon.

Helldivers 2's approach to premium content has been to focus on carefully curated themes, as evidenced by the recent partnership with Killzone 2. Arrowhead Studios has made it clear that such crossovers will be rare and will only be pursued if they align seamlessly with the game's universe. This strategic approach ensures that any collaboration enhances the gaming experience without compromising the integrity of the Helldivers 2 narrative.

As part of the Killzone collaboration, players have the opportunity to earn more themed rewards through community challenges related to the Galactic War. This initiative not only enriches the gameplay but also fosters a stronger sense of community and engagement among Helldivers 2 fans.
