Helldivers 2 is teaming up with Warhammer 40,000.
Arrowhead Game Studios announced the upcoming crossover in a new video featuring Helldivers 2 game director Mikael Eriksson, who revealed the collaboration will arrive as a Legendary Warbond later this year.
āWeāre excited to announce a collaboration between Helldivers 2 and Warhammer 40,000,ā the announcement states, adding more details will be revealed soon.
Helldivers 2 Gets Warhammer 40K Crossover
The Helldivers 2 Warhammer 40,000 collaboration brings two heavy sci-fi franchises together, which makes a lot of sense given the tone of both properties.
Helldivers 2 already leans into over-the-top military satire, alien threats, brutal combat, and the idea of soldiers fighting for a massive regime under the banner of democracy.
Warhammer 40,000, meanwhile, is built around grimdark warfare, endless battles, alien enemies, and heavily armed warriors fighting across the galaxy.
Arrowhead also made it clear the studio is into the crossover.
āAt Arrowhead, we believe these two worlds fit perfectly together,ā Eriksson says in the video, adding the studio is full of ādiehard Warhammer fans.ā
Legendary Warbond Coming Later This Year
The Warhammer 40,000 content will arrive as an upcoming Legendary Warbond.
Arrowhead did not reveal the gear, armor, weapons, stratagems, or cosmetics included in the Warbond, but the Warhammer 40K connection opens the door for plenty of fan speculation.
Players will likely be looking for armor and weapons inspired by the Imperium, Space Marines, Astra Militarum, or other recognizable Warhammer 40K factions. For now, Arrowhead is keeping the details under wraps.
More information will be announced later this year.
Helldivers 2 Available Now
Helldivers 2 is out now on PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox.
The game is a four-player co-op shooter where players fight as Helldivers in the Galactic War, taking on alien threats in the name of Super Earth.
The Warhammer 40,000 collaboration marks another big move for Helldivers 2 as Arrowhead continues to expand the game with new content following its launch.
