Torrentgame – If you’re a fan of Helldivers 2 and Sony’s legendary Killzone franchise, hold on to your seat—because it looks like an epic crossover might be on the horizon. While it hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, a credible leak has sparked excitement among fans, hinting at Killzone-inspired armor and weapons making their way to Helldivers 2.
The Leak: Righteous Revenants Warbond
The buzz comes from Twitter/X user Iron_S1ghts, a well-known figure in the datamining community. According to their findings, the crossover is reportedly dubbed the “Righteous Revenants Warbond.” For those unfamiliar, Warbonds are essentially Helldivers 2’s battle pass system where players unlock exclusive gear.
Two alleged armors have surfaced in leaked screenshots, and let’s just say—they scream Killzone. These armors feature the franchise’s iconic gas masks with glowing red eyes that’ll give anyone flashbacks of Helghast soldiers marching in all their dystopian glory.
Here’s the breakdown of the armors:
- AC-1 Dutiful: Comes with a passive ability offering 50% resistance to fire, gas, acid, and electrical damage.
- AC-2 Obedient: Features the same resistance perks but trades some protection for faster movement speed and improved stamina recovery—perfect for those who love to play agile.
Why This Crossover Just Makes Sense
Arrowhead Studios, the minds behind Helldivers 2, has previously stated they’re open to crossovers but only when they “make sense.” And let’s be honest—this one checks all the boxes. Both Helldivers and Killzone lean heavily into militaristic, dystopian themes where fascist regimes dominate their worlds. The crossover feels less like fan service and more like a natural fit for both universes.
CEO Johan Pilestedt even addressed crossover speculation before, shutting down dreams of a Halo crossover but leaving the door open for others that align tonally. Sorry, Spartans—Helldivers x Killzone might be the dream team we get instead.
Helldivers 2 Keeps the Momentum Rolling
If the crossover pans out, it’ll follow a string of big moves for Helldivers 2. Arrowhead recently introduced the Illuminate, a formidable new enemy faction that players hilariously annihilated within a week. On top of that, a limited-edition Helldivers 2 DualSense controller drops for preorder starting December 20—because who wouldn’t want their gear to match their carnage?
Let’s not forget that Helldivers 2 cleaned up at The Game Awards 2024, winning Best Ongoing Game and Best Multiplayer—a testament to its growing popularity and Arrowhead’s relentless updates.
So, while we wait for Sony or Arrowhead to officially spill the beans, it’s safe to say fans are already gearing up for battle in Helldivers 2’s Helghast-inspired armor. Stay tuned, and ready up, Divers—this war is only getting bigger.
