Summary
Arrowhead Studios CEO Shams Jorjani said a crossover betweenHelldivers 2andDead Spaceisn’t impossible, saying he wants to “get in touch” with EA. This message was shared on theHelldivers 2Discord after a user asked if the team at Arrowhead had considered collaborating with theDead Spacefranchise. While the tone of each game is certainly different, bothDead SpaceandHelldiverstake place in space and offer similar aesthetics, making this hypothetical crossover easy to see happening down the line.
Since its release,Helldivers 2has seen numerous updates and upgrades, most of which have expanded the world of the game drastically. In 2025, players don’t just have Terminids and Automatons to fight, they now also need to worry about The Illuminate. Thankfully, they have advanced weaponry and artillery, as well as other tools like vehicles to turn the tide of battle. However, crossovers are one area that remains relatively unexplored inHelldivers 2, something the game’s CEO seems open to exploring further.
Arrowhead’s Shams Jorjani was asked if the team would consider aDead Spacecollaboration forHelldivers 2on the game’s officialDiscord, to which the CEO responded that it’s “not impossible.” Jorjani cheekily also added that EA should “get in touch” if they were reading the message. While the two games are different in tone, withDead Spaceoffering a far more bleak and horror-flavored adventure, they andHelldivers 2seem like games that could merge nicely. Fans have also been pushing for aWarhammer 40Kcollaboration recently, a fitting crossover considering thefranchise’s similarities withHelldivers 2.
So far,Helldivers 2has only crossed over withKillzone, another Sony-published sci-fi shooter. This collaboration happened in December 2024, adding some new weapons and armor options toHelldivers 2’s ever-expanding arsenal. Arrowhead is playing it cautiously when it comes to collaborations, revealing they have rejected ideas, such as aStar Wars-themed update, due to the IP not fitting with theirs. With Jorjani sayingDead Spaceisn’t “impossible,” he is clearly indicating he thinks the two games do fit together in some way.
Regardless of whether this crossover happens, players still have a lot to love about the baseHelldivers 2experience. While many things have changed since launch, namely the number of enemies and weapons, players seem to agree thatHelldivers 2’s core gameplay loop remains fun and satisfying, especially with friends.Helldivers 2is a game intended to be played co-op, as players will have to work together to complete tasks and objectives. Another big part of the game is its story and humor, with recentHelldivers 2updates adding to the satirical world Arrowhead has created.
