“I know what’s coming for Helldivers for the next few years”: Arrowhead has a long-term plan for Helldivers 2, but it’s still “subject to change”
Third Person Shooters
Helldivers 3 is “hopefully many years away,” because Arrowhead is “focusing on the here and now” and Helldivers 2 “can run for a long time if people keep playing it”
Third Person Shooters
Helldivers 2 grunts think they’ve found more evidence of a Halo crossover thanks to a very familiar “unknown signal” detected by the Galactic Warning System: “Is that… THE SUPERINTENDENT?”

Could Fortnite’s Helldivers-esque season be a teaser? Probably not, but Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani does see crossover potential

A Helldivers 2 Fortnite crossover probably isn’t happening any time soon, but Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani sees the potential.
Despite Fortnite’s current season rocking a decidedly Helldivers-esque theme with a militaristic faction fighting off a bug invasion, a prominent leaker recently said “there’s literally no sign” of a collab between Arrowhead and Epic Games, and a new comment from Jorjani pours even more cold water on the idea… at least for now.
Spotted by Videogamer, over on Discord, Jorjani responded to a player who wanted to know if Helldivers and Fortnite would ever crossover in any way. “Not a priority,” Jorjani said, while still leaving the door open for a collab in the future.

If you’re a major IP, whether that’s in games, movies, TV, comics, what have you, there’s a good chance Epic is eyeing you for a Fortnite crossover, so it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if the battle royale one day got some official Helldivers skins. That said, Helldivers has only officially collaborated with Halo and Killzone, so there’s a lot less precedent for how a Fortnite collab would work on Arrowhead’s side. Themed cosmetics would be a pretty safe bet, but for such a huge crossover you’d think there would be something more substantial.
Regardless, Fortnite and Helldivers players hoping for a crossover, don’t hold your breath.

I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar’s west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I’m responsible for managing the site’s western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I’m too afraid to finish.
