While it was widely debated among fans whether or notHelldivers 2should explore crossover content, this cat is already out of the bag by now, so to speak. So, afterHelldivers 2’s recentKillzonecrossover, it’s safe to expect many more crossovers in store forHelldivers 2’s future updates. By now, theHelldivers 2’s second crossover has already been teased, though it still remains a mystery.
On the officialHelldivers 2Discord server, a developer from Arrowhead Game Studios revealed thatHelldivers 2’s next crossover is in development as of February 2025. According to the developer, the next crossover is still in the early stages, though there’s been no mention of when exactly this crossover will arrive, and which IP will be featured in the crossover event yet. However, between IPs that members of Arrowhead Game Studios have previously mentioned and popular community requests, there are already a few likely candidates for which IP could be featured inHelldivers 2’s next crossover event.
Which Games Could Be Featured in Helldivers 2’s Next Crossover?
AfterHelldivers 2’sKillzonecrossover, it’s possible that anotherfamous PlayStation-exclusive franchisecould be next in line. However, sinceHelldivers 2has only released one official crossover so far, this isn’t necessarily enough to speculate on a pattern just yet. Instead, one thing to consider when predictingHelldivers 2’s upcoming crossover event is comments made by Arrowhead Game Studios' CCO, Johan Pilestedt (who is currently taking a sabbatical), as well as alleged comments from other members of Arrowhead Game Studios.
On Pilestedt’s Twitter/X account, several IPs for potential crossovers have been explicitly mentioned by now, notably includingStar WarsandWarhammer 40K. While Pilestedt has since stepped away from his as Creative Director forHelldivers 2, he remains at Arrowhead Game Studios as the CCO, meaning these could still be likely candidates forHelldivers 2’s upcoming crossover event.
Helldivers 2’s Most Popular PC Mods Make the Case for an Official Star Wars Crossover
Among the IPs mentioned by the CCO of Arrowhead Game Studios and former Creative Director ofHelldivers 2,Star WarsandWarhammer 40Karguably stand out as some of the most likely candidates for futureHelldivers 2crossovers. ForStar Wars, content inspired by this IP was one of the very firstPC mods forHelldivers 2, and remains among some of the most downloaded mods for the game, indicating a high demand among fans for an official collaboration.

According to the leaks, a weapon similar to theWarhammer 40Kfranchise’s chain sword has been found inHelldivers 2’s game files.
Deep Rock Galactic Developers Are Hopeful for a Helldivers 2 Crossover
Another potential collaboration that Arrowhead Game Studios has allegedly acknowledged is aHelldivers 2crossover withDeep Rock Galactic. Asreported by GamesRadar,Deep Rock Galacticdevelopers at Ghost Ship Games once streamedHelldivers 2and discussed what apotential crossover withHelldivers 2could look like, which caught the attention of Arrowhead Game Studios to reach out in the stream’s chat.
Ultimately, given the existing demand among fans for crossovers withStar Wars,Warhammer 40K, andDeep Rock Galactic, official crossover events with any or all of these IPs seem like a recipe for success. Throughout many of Helldives 2’s recent updates, Arrowhead Game Studios has been known to consider players’ feedback and requests, so, especially after Arrowhead Game Studios explicitly acknowledged potential collaborations with most of these IPs, these are all likely candidates forHelldivers 2’s upcoming crossover.
