Helldivers 2 creator hints at possible collab with Warhammer 40,000

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 prospect of integrating elements from Warhammer 40,000 into Helldivers 2 has sparked intense discussions among fans, who are eager to see how such a crossover might unfold.

Some community members expressed skepticism about the feasibility of a collaboration with Games Workshop, the company behind Warhammer 40,000. 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 comment has been interpreted by Helldivers 2 enthusiasts as a strong hint that a partnership with Games Workshop could be on the horizon.

The premium content strategy for Helldivers 2 has been focusing on thematic crossovers that enhance the game's universe, as evidenced by the partnership with Killzone. Arrowhead Studios has made it clear that such collaborations will be selective and pursued only when they seamlessly fit into the Helldivers 2 narrative.

In line with the Killzone collaboration, players have the opportunity to earn themed rewards through community challenges related to the Galactic War. This initiative not only enhances player engagement but also ties the crossover content directly into the ongoing gameplay experience, making it a meaningful addition to the Helldivers 2 universe.
