When Helldivers 2 dropped its Killzone crossover last December, it opened a Pandora’s box of possibilities that has fans dreaming bigger with each passing day. While Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani has already confirmed that Games Workshop “would love a crossover,” players aren’t just hoping for any Warhammer collaboration—they’re getting specific.
Forget Space Marine 2—though that pairing seems almost too obvious given both games’ bug-squashing similarities. Instead, a growing chorus of democracy-spreading enthusiasts are rallying behind a different grimdark contender that might just be the perfect match for Super Earth’s finest.
Darktide’s gritty aesthetic has Helldivers ready to enlist
The community’s hunger for a Warhammer 40K: Darktide crossover has reached fever pitch, with players practically begging to trade their hard-earned Super Credits for a taste of the Imperium’s distinctive gear:
What makes this potential crossover so compelling isn’t just the visual similarities—it’s how naturally Darktide’s aesthetic fits within the Helldivers 2 universe. Both games feature regular humans (not supersoldiers) fighting against overwhelming odds with a healthy dose of dark humor and authoritarian propaganda.

The community’s enthusiasm goes beyond mere cosmetics, though.
Players have already mapped out entire armor sets that would translate perfectly to Helldivers 2′s light, medium, and heavy classifications:

Unlike the somewhat divisive Killzone crossover, which some players felt was overpriced and limited, a Darktide collaboration could potentially introduce more substantial content:

The appetite for more crossovers clearly hasn’t diminished despite the pricing controversy that surrounded the Killzone content. If anything, players seem even more eager for collaborations that enhance the game’s existing aesthetic.
How Arrowhead can avoid another crossover controversy
The Killzone crossover taught Arrowhead some valuable lessons about pricing and availability—lessons they’d be wise to remember if a Warhammer collab were to materialize. Players weren’t just upset about the cost; they were frustrated by the limited five-day window to purchase the items.

To their credit, Jorjani acknowledged the misstep, admitting the pricing was a mistake and promising adjustments for future crossovers. The solution seems obvious: integrate crossover content into the Warbond system rather than as limited-time store purchases.

While Arrowhead has cited limited resources as the main obstacle to a Warhammer crossover, the potential return on investment seems substantial. With players explicitly stating they’re ready to “keep cracking open this wallet,” the financial incentive is clear.
The real question isn’t if a Darktide crossover will happen, but when—and how ambitious it will be. Will we see just armor and weapons, or could Arrowhead go further with themed missions or even enemy types?
Only time will tell, but one thing’s certain: the community is ready to spread managed democracy in the name of the Emperor.
