Update []:
Well, that didn’t take long to have confirmed, did it? Developer Arrowhead Studios has now officially announced the Killzone crossover content in Helldivers 2, and it’s available in the game now.
Fans of Sony’s dormant FPS series can now don the armour of Helghast infantry, as well as a Helghan cape and player banner. Additionally, the StA-52 assault rifle can be yours. All this is available via the Superstore.
It seems the suggestion of a Killzone themed Warbond, made in the leak below, is either false or planned for a later release. For now, though, you can get yourself some Helghast goodies as you battle for Super Earth.
Original Story: In some news that’s sure to put you in the festive spirit, it looks like there’s still a flicker of life in the Helghast yet, with the long-dormant Killzone IP seemingly headed for a crossover event with the similarly authoritarian Helldivers 2. The two franchises couldn’t be more perfect for one another, and as it seems like Sony is issuing takedown notices for the screenshots floating around, we believe this will be a thing.
The initial images, apparently originating with X user Iron_S1ghts, have been taken down, but not before stalwart PlayStation community member Radec got the goods (thanks, GameSpot). The two images (in case they also get pulled) depict the AC-1 Dutiful and AC-2 Obedient armour sets, which are certainly reminiscent of the Helghast trooper and sniper, respectively.
The set offers resistance to fire, gas, acid, and electrical damage, sporting the Helghast’s signature, sinister red lenses and gas masks. Iron_S1ghts claims they will be part of a future Righteous Revenents Warbond.
