Helldivers 2 fans, prepare for an intergalactic treat! The game is officially teaming up with the iconic Killzone 2, delivering a range of themed cosmetics and a brand-new weapon to the in-game Superstore. This exciting collaboration is not just about aesthetics; it’s a nostalgic nod to one of PlayStation’s most beloved franchises, giving players a chance to celebrate Killzone 2 in the Helldivers universe.

“We decided a long time ago to do crossovers only if and when they make perfect sense for the game. So in that spirit, we’re hyped to announce our very first crossover: Killzone 2.”

What’s New in the Superstore?

As part of this crossover, players can now deck out their characters with the Assault Infantry armor set, a striking homage to Killzone 2’s gritty aesthetic. But that’s not all! The collaboration also introduces the legendary StA-52 assault rifle—a futuristic take on the FAMAS rifle, instantly recognizable to Killzone fans.

To complete the look, players can grab a unique cape, banner, and a player title, all styled to resonate with the Killzone 2 theme. These additions are sure to enhance your gameplay experience, adding a touch of nostalgia and flair to your intergalactic missions.

Dispatch from Acquisition Centre Superstore:

To celebrate your heroics in liberating the Voteless from their tortured existence, we’re bringing to the table our first official crossover – Helldivers x Killzone.

Community Feedback and Superstore Adjustments

The introduction of the Killzone 2 crossover also comes with some adjustments to the Superstore’s structure. Developer Arrowhead has been listening to community feedback regarding the store’s current rotation system. With this update, the store will temporarily feature a longer page rotation, offering players “two pages of items to explore.” This change serves as a trial to better understand what works for the player base. After this period, the regular rotation system will resume, with Arrowhead closely analyzing player feedback to improve the system further.

A Two-Part Event

This crossover is being rolled out in two parts, adding even more excitement to the collaboration. The first part, currently live, focuses on the Assault Infantry theme. However, if you’ve caught a glimpse of the promotional banner, you might have noticed another familiar figure—the Scout Sniper. This character is expected to take center stage in the second part of the event, bringing additional items and weapons for players to enjoy.

Mark your calendars! Part one of the event is available for a limited time, running for five days only. Once it concludes, part two will launch on December 23, promising even more content for fans of both Helldivers 2 and Killzone 2.

A Celebration of Two Iconic Franchises

This crossover is more than just a cosmetic update; it’s a celebration of two beloved gaming franchises coming together. For Killzone 2 fans, it’s a chance to relive the glory days of battling the Helghast, while Helldivers 2 players get to enjoy fresh, thematic content that pays homage to gaming history. Whether you’re a veteran of Killzone or a newcomer to Helldivers, this event is not to be missed.

So gear up, grab your Super Credits, and dive into the Killzone 2 crossover while it lasts. With exclusive items and a nod to one of PlayStation’s most iconic shooters, this event is bound to keep the Helldivers 2 community buzzing for weeks to come!
