The collaboration between the co-op shooter Helldivers 2 and the Killzone franchise has sparked intense discussions within the gaming community about the potential for future crossovers, particularly with the renowned Warhammer 40,000 universe. Speculation about a possible collaboration with Games Workshop, the creators of Warhammer, has been fueled by comments from Arrowhead Studios' head, Shams Jorjani, who expressed enthusiasm for such a crossover, 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 fans as a strong hint that a collaboration with Games Workshop could be on the horizon.
The premium content for Helldivers 2 has been carefully curated to include thematic crossovers, such as the recent partnership with Killzone 2. Arrowhead Studios has made it clear that these collaborations will be selective and only pursued when they align seamlessly with the game's universe. This approach ensures that any crossover content enhances the player experience without compromising the integrity of the game's narrative and setting.
As part of the Killzone partnership, players have the opportunity to earn themed rewards through community challenges related to the Galactic War. This initiative not only enriches the gameplay but also fosters a sense of community and engagement among Helldivers 2 players.
