The first licensed crossover for Helldivers 2 is also Killzone’s official debut on PC. In a move that has been teased for some time, Arrowhead Games and Super Earth have teamed up with Sony’s Guerrilla Games to bring the grimdark shooter series to the platform. Players can now purchase weapons, armor, and cosmetics from Killzone’s despicable stormtroopers at the Helldivers Superstore.
The crossover is set in the context of the Galactic War, a conflict that claims to be an exercise in bringing “freedom” to various alien species. However, critics argue that it’s actually a thinly veiled attempt at promoting a fascist regime. The deal includes additional rewards for players depending on their performance in the war.
The partnership is not without controversy, as some fans have expressed concerns over the pricing and the inclusion of primary weapons as DLC. Nevertheless, the crossover brings Killzone to PC, marking an official debut for the series on the platform.
For those unfamiliar with Killzone, it’s a classic shooter series that was once considered Sony’s silver bullet in the battle against Halo, Gears, and Call of Duty. The original Killzone 2 is remembered fondly by many, but its sequels have received less praise. This crossover brings a new wave of grimdark goodness to the PC platform, albeit with some controversy surrounding it.
