Arrowhead Game Studios’ Helldivers 2 has released its first crossover in the form of a Killzone collaboration. After learning from some mistakes and putting in rules for future collaborations, Arrowhead is planning other crossover events in the future.
Among calls for a Halo crossover, fans have been clamouring for an official Helldivers 2 x Warhammer 40K crossover event in the future. While the team would “love” to bring the epic sci-fi universe to the game, the developers just might not have the resources to do so.
Helldivers 2 devs too busy for Warhammer
Speaking in the official Helldivers Discord, Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani explained the team and even Warhammer IP holders Games Workshop “would love a crossover”. However, with the team working on new weapon attachment systems, an upcoming Super Earth invasion and more, there’s not enough time to do so.

“I can tell you [Games Workshop] would love a crossover—and we’re huge 40k fans ourselves—but time and resources are finite and we’ve got our hands busy,” the CEO told fans.
Back in December, via PC Gamer, Jorjani also touched on the possibility of a Warhammer 40K crossover. In an earlier post, the CEO said: “Let’s just say GW have been courting us. We’re huge fans.”
Anyone who’s toyed with the Warhammer 40K universe knows just how similar the two sci-fi universes are. Then again, with the massive scale of everything in the 40K universe, would the scrawny divers even be able to hold a bolter without falling over?
Arrowhead has frequently discussed the issues with crossovers in Helldivers 2 over the past few months with the team wary of dilluting the game with countless other IPs. For example, don’t expect a Star Wars crossover any time… well… ever!
