Check out how we test and review games hereHelldivers 2 had its first and only collaboration at the end of 2024, and it was with the fairly deceased PlayStation IP, Killzone. Since then, fans have been wondering if more collaborations will happen for HD2. Arrowhead are open to the idea of more crossovers, but they want to avoid repeating the sins of Call of Duty. This means not all partnerships will be entertained, no matter how desirable. For example, the Helldivers 2 CEO has just shut down the idea of a Star Wars crossover while giving the thumbs up to other licenses.Helldivers 2 CEO reveals crossovers they want while rejecting Star WarsOn the Helldivers Discord, Arrowhead CEO, Shams Jorjani, has been responding to fans. In wake of Pilestedts announced sabbatical, Jorjani assured fans that HD2 is in good hands while also discussing how long the game can last before support ends. Away from reassuring the community about the future of Helldivers 2, Jorjani also briefly discussed crossovers because it continues to be a hot topic amongst the fanbase.The biggest crossover Jorjani is not interested in is Star Wars. The galaxy far, far away is easily the biggest sci-fi universe, and seeing Stormtroopers in HD2 is understandably appealing on paper, as evidenced by mods. However, even though Star Wars has been part of Fortnite and is now coming to Destiny 2, Jorjani has no interest because it wouldnt fit the aesthetic of Helldivers 2.While giving the thumbs down to Star Wars, Jorjani also swiped left on Starcraft, as well as Destiny because its a bit too sci-fi. Although these rejections make it seem as though Helldivers 2 is not interested in a partnership, there are a couple of properties Jorjani would swipe right for in theory.These properties include Alien and Warhammer 40K. For Alien, Jorjani has an interest in the colonial marines, while for Warhammer the interest is with the imperial guardsmen. The CEO also has an interest in the Orbital Drop Shock Trooperfrom Halo, and this would be amazing judging by Halo HD2 mods.None of these desirable crossovers are planned, but, in another message, Jorjani said GW [Games Workshop] would love a cross over. While both Arrowhead and GW would love to team up, the unfortunate news is that no collaborations are planned right now as time and resources are finite, and Arrowhead are currently busy with other ideas.
