Xbox's Helldivers 2 potentiality to resemble Halo's success - Fervently requesting: Implement this crucial element
In an exciting turn of events for fans of co-op shooter games, Helldivers 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the popular sci-fi game, is set to feature a potential crossover with Halo's Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODSTs). This possibility is supported by statements from game director Johan Pilestedt of Arrowhead Game Studios.
Helldivers 2, previously available on PC and PS5, is making its debut on Xbox on August 26, 2025. The Xbox preorder price for the game stands at $39.99. If the rumours are true, this release could include an ODST crossover, although an official announcement has yet to be made.
Johan Pilestedt has expressed no objections to a potential crossover between Helldivers 2 and Halo's ODSTs. In fact, he listed ODSTs as fitting within Helldivers 2's guidelines for crossovers, suggesting a possible collaboration. ODSTs, the toughest non-Spartan troops fielded by the UNSC in Halo's universe, share similarities with the soldiers in Helldivers 2, making them a natural fit for the game.
If the crossover materializes, Helldivers 2 could potentially feature ODST-themed armor and weapons, including silenced SMGs and Magnum sidearms. The inclusion of silenced weapons could fill a vacant niche in the game's sandbox, adding a new layer of strategy for players.
While a full-scale Halo crossover might be unlikely, given Pilestedt's measured approach to maintaining Helldivers 2's identity, a themed crossover featuring Halo ODSTs is both possible and supported by the game director's previous statements.
Helldivers 2's Xbox release, scheduled for August 26, 2025, is generating a lot of excitement among players, with discussions about potential ODST-inspired memes and modes. Meanwhile, CDKeys is offering a discount on Helldivers 2's PC version, priced at $27.49 (a savings of $11-12).
As we eagerly await official confirmation, the anticipation for a Halo-themed crossover in Helldivers 2 continues to grow. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development!
