Helldivers 2 Seeks Collaborations, Prioritizes Unique Experiences

Helldivers 2's creative director, Johan Pilestedt, recently revealed his dream crossovers for the game, sparking excitement among fans. His wish list includes iconic franchises like Starship Troopers, Terminator, and Warhammer 40,000, a sentiment initially expressed after praising the tabletop game, Trench Crusade. While the initial enthusiasm suggested potential collaborations, Pilestedt later tempered expectations, citing the numerous challenges involved.

Pilestedt's ideal crossovers extend to sci-fi giants such as Alien, Predator, Star Wars, and Blade Runner. However, he acknowledged the risk of diluting Helldivers 2's unique satirical, militaristic identity if too many collaborations were pursued. He emphasized that incorporating all these franchises would create an experience that deviates from the core Helldivers feel.

The allure of crossovers is undeniable, especially in the live-service game market. Helldivers 2, with its intense alien battles and detailed combat, seems perfectly suited for partnerships. Yet, Pilestedt prioritizes maintaining the game's cohesive universe and tone. He remains open to both small-scale additions (like individual weapons) and larger ones (character skins), potentially acquired through in-game systems. However, he stressed that these are personal preferences and no decisions have been finalized.

This measured approach is appreciated by many, contrasting with the trend of live-service games overwhelming players with numerous crossovers that often clash with the game's original aesthetic. Arrowhead Studios' cautious strategy suggests a commitment to preserving Helldivers 2's unique identity. The possibility of Helldivers facing Xenomorphs alongside Jango Fett or the Terminator remains a captivating, albeit currently hypothetical, scenario. The final decision rests with the developers, and the future of crossovers in Helldivers 2 remains uncertain.
