Arrowhead’s CEO, Shams Jorjani, recently discussed the possibility of a crossover event with Games Workshop’s famed Warhammer 40K universe for their game Helldivers 2. In an informal discussion on Discord, Jorjani noted that while Games Workshop is enthusiastic about the idea, constraints of time and resources are currently holding back such a collaboration.

Quote from Jorjani: “I can tell you [Games Workshop] would love a crossover—and we’re huge 40k fans ourselves—but time and resources are finite and we’ve got our hands busy.”

Jorjani acknowledged the challenges faced in executing such crossovers, particularly after a recent crossover with Killzone that received mixed reactions due to pricing issues. He assured fans that although the game is busy with updates and changes, there is definitely interest in expanding into the Warhammer 40K universe in the future.

Background: Over the years, both Helldivers and Warhammer 40K have developed unique narratives around galactic themes, albeit through different lenses—one through satire and humor and the other through a serious, grimdark aesthetic. As Arrowhead continues to evolve Helldivers 2, the conversation around potential crossovers remains a fan-favorite topic.
