Following the successful collaboration between the co-op shooter Helldivers 2 and the Killzone franchise, the gaming community has been buzzing with speculation about a potential crossover with another iconic franchise, Warhammer 40,000. The idea of merging these universes has sparked intense discussions among fans, with many wondering if such a partnership could become a reality.
Some community members expressed skepticism, suggesting that Games Workshop, the company behind Warhammer 40,000, would never 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 statement has been interpreted by Helldivers 2 fans as a strong hint that a collaboration with Games Workshop might be on the horizon.
Helldivers 2's premium content strategy now focuses on thoughtfully curated themes, exemplified by the recent Killzone 2 partnership. Arrowhead Studios has made it clear that such crossovers will be rare and will only be considered when they align seamlessly with the game's universe, ensuring a natural and enriching addition to the gameplay experience.
As part of the ongoing partnership with Killzone, players have the opportunity to earn more themed rewards through community challenges related to the Galactic War. This initiative not only enhances player engagement but also celebrates the collaboration in a meaningful way.
