- Players speculate that a Warhammer 40K crossover may be coming to the game.
A Helldivers 2 developer has hinted that the game’s next crossover event is in the works, leaving players to wonder which universe could be the next one to collide with Super Earth. Over a year after its initial release, Helldivers 2 continues to add fresh content, and additional collaborations give players even more chances to spread freedom across the galaxy.
Helldivers 2 was released in February 2024. It quickly became one of the most popular co-op shooters of the year, selling over 12 million copies three months after its launch. Players fight alongside their squad to defend Super Earth from hostile alien factions and spread managed democracy throughout the galaxy. With the recent conclusion of the Meridia storyline in Helldivers 2, expectations for new content are high. Players are now looking forward to what comes next, with major threats looming over Super Earth and new enemies that might be lurking in the shadows.
Helldivers 2's Portable Hellbomb is a Game-Changer for Support Weapons
Helldivers 2's new Portable Hellbomb is a fascinating tool, and what it brings to the game could change support equipment for the better.
A recent tease from a Helldivers 2 developer suggests that a new crossover event is on the way. When asked on Discord about future Helldivers 2 crossover events, developer Sephez stated that they were "in the very early stages of something new." The developer hasn’t shared any additional details, leaving fans to wonder which gaming franchise could be coming to Helldivers 2. Some players believe the next Helldivers 2 crossover could be with Warhammer 40K following the leaked silhouette of a melee weapon that looks like the iconic Chainsword from the franchise. Arrowhead Game Studios hasn’t yet shared any official information regarding this next Helldivers 2 crossover.
Helldivers 2 Dev Teases New Crossover Event
This wouldn’t be the first crossover for Helldivers 2. The game previously teamed up with Killzone 2, bringing weapons and armor inspired by Sony’s FPS into space warfare. Players who wanted to collect all the new cosmetic elements introduced in the Helldivers 2 x Killzone 2 crossover event needed to spend a total of 1,975 Super Credits, or about $19.99 for the whole Killzone 2 set. While that amounts to the price players would normally pay for two Premium Warbonds, this crossover made Helldivers 2 players curious about which other universe could eventually collide with Super Earth’s intergalactic missions.
Besides these crossover events, Helldivers 2 has received multiple updates in recent weeks. The latest patch introduced balancing adjustments, bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements, including the temporal removal of the new Helldivers 2 Terminid enemies. With this recent tease about an upcoming crossover event, Helldivers 2 players have even more reasons to keep on imposing freedom across the farest reaches of space.

WHERE TO PLAY
The Galaxy’s Last Line of Offence. Enlist in the Helldivers and join the fight for freedom across a hostile galaxy in a fast, frantic, and ferocious third-person shooter.
URGENT BROADCAST – SUPER EARTH ARMED FORCES
Freedom. Peace. Democracy. Your Super Earth-born rights. The key pillars of our civilization. Of our very existence. But the war rages on. And everything is once again under threat.
Join the greatest military force the galaxy has ever seen and make this a safe and free place to live.
BECOME A LEGEND
You will be assembled into squads of up to four Helldivers and assigned strategic missions. Watch each other’s back – friendly fire is an unfortunate certainty of war, but victory without teamwork is impossible.
LOADOUTS
Rain down freedom from above, sneak through enemy territory, or grit your teeth and charge head-first into the jaws of combat. How you deliver liberty is your choice; you’ll have access to a wide array of explosive firepower, life-saving armor and battle-changing stratagems… the jewel in every Helldiver’s arsenal.
REQUISITION
Super Earth recognises your hard work with valuable Requisition. Use it to access different rewards that benefit you, your squad, your destroyer ship and our overall war effort.
THREATS
Everything on every planet wants you dead. That’s what we’re dealing with. Each enemy has distinct and unpredictable characteristics, tactics, and behavior – but they all fight ferociously and without fear or morality.
THE GALACTIC WAR
Capturing enemy planets, defending against invasions, and completing missions will contribute to our overall effort. This war will be won or lost depending on the actions of everyone involved.
We stand together, or we fall apart.
