Following the successful 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 renowned Warhammer 40,000 universe. The idea of integrating elements from Warhammer 40,000 into Helldivers 2 has sparked intense discussions among fans.
Some community members expressed skepticism about the feasibility of a crossover with Games Workshop's Warhammer universe. 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 statement has been interpreted by Helldivers 2 enthusiasts as a strong indication that a collaboration with Games Workshop could be on the horizon.
The premium content strategy for Helldivers 2 has shifted towards incorporating carefully selected themes, as evidenced by the partnership with Killzone 2. Arrowhead Studios has made it clear that such crossovers will be infrequent, reserved only for those that seamlessly integrate into the game's universe, enhancing the overall narrative and gameplay experience.
As part of this collaboration with Killzone, players have the opportunity to earn themed rewards through community challenges tied to the Galactic War. This initiative not only fosters community engagement but also adds an exciting layer of competition and achievement to the game.
