The collaboration between the co-op shooter Helldivers 2 and the Killzone franchise has sparked intense discussions within the gaming community, particularly about the potential for future crossovers with other iconic franchises, such as Warhammer 40,000. Speculation about a possible Warhammer 40,000 collaboration 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." These remarks have been interpreted by Helldivers 2 fans as a hint that a collaboration with Games Workshop might be on the horizon.
The premium content in Helldivers 2 continues to focus on carefully curated themes, as evidenced by the Killzone 2 partnership. Arrowhead Studios has made it clear that these collaborations will be infrequent and will only be pursued if they naturally fit within the game's universe. This approach ensures that any crossover content feels like a seamless extension of Helldivers 2's narrative and gameplay.
In line with the Killzone collaboration, players have the opportunity to earn more themed rewards through community challenges related to the Galactic War. This not only enhances the gaming experience but also fosters a sense of community and engagement among players.
