Ever since the crossover with Killzone at the end of 2024, Helldivers 2 fans have been eager for more collaborations. Arrowhead has confirmed that the next crossover is in-development, and there is the possibility it might have already leaked. One of the few sci-fi franchises Arrowhead has said they’re open to collaborating with is Aliens, and the Helldivers 2 CEO has revealed a stratagem that they want to see from Aliens that would be “cool as hell”.
Helldivers 2 x Aliens stratagem
On February 27th, Arrowhead CEO, Shams Jorjani, was answering questions from fans on Discord. One user asked Jorjani if Arrowhead Will be “having a sort of APC stratagem or Mech changes down the line”.
The CEO admitted that an APC stratagem would be “cool as hell,” and he also specifically pointed out “the one from Aliens”.
Right now, HD2 players can drive an FRV (Fast Recon Vehicle), so the introduction of an APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) would be fantastic. There have been APC and tank gameplay leaks in the past for Helldivers 2, and these even appeared before leaks for the FRV. Hopefully the APC isn’t something that has been abandoned.
As for Aliens specifically, what Jorjani is referring to is the M577. This is the beautiful vehicle Ripley uses to save the Colonial Marines after they first enter the hive of Xenomorphs.
Jorjani has previously said he would love an Aliens warbond based on the colonial marines, and it would be fantastic to see the M577 along with Aliens inspired armor. The M41A pulse rifle and M56 smart gun would also be fantastic weapons for gunning down bugs in Helldivers 2.
This doesn’t confirm that a HD2 x Aliens collaboration is happening, and there are other IPs ideal for Arrowhead’s next crossover. Jorjani has previously said Games Workshop would love a HD2 x Warhammer crossover, meanwhile, both Titanfall and Deep Rock Galactic have publicly given the thumbs up to a potential collaboration.
