Is It Too Much to Ask for a Helldivers x Space Marine 2 Collab?

Arrowhead Game Studios’ Helldivers 2 and Saber Interactive’s Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 have been close competitors for quite some time now, primarily due to their similar PvE co-op experiences.

Fans of both the games often engage in debates online and the best solution to put an end to all these arguments is a Helldivers 2 and Space Marine 2 collaboration. It’s hard to say if the respective studios would agree to this crossover, but this fanmade promotional video will convince you why we need this collaboration.

Despite some major setbacks, Helldivers 2 has once again managed to become one of the most popular co-op games in the world but if it wishes to overtake Space Marine 2, Arrowhead must continue adding fresh content to the game. This collaboration would give Helldivers 2 a massive boost, so Arrowhead could consider this idea.

A viral post on the r/helldivers2 subreddit put a spotlight on a fanmade video that showcases a crossover between Space Marine 2 and Helldivers 2. Originally posted by Rob Zombii Animations on Youtube, this animation was made in blender and it shows what fans of both games are missing out on.

Super Earth’s brave soldiers fighting in Space Marine 2-like heavy armor is something that can only be achieved through mods. Arrowhead Game Studios must acknowledge the creator’s neat idea as a collaboration with Space Marine 2 could significantly boost the game’s popularity.

The Helldivers 2 community absolutely loved the idea, in fact, they don’t even want new Mechs if Arrowhead gives them Space Marine 2-like heavy armor.

In December, Arrowhead Game Studios worked with Guerrilla Games to give fans a Helldivers 2 x Killzone collaboration. Players loved the items in the collaboration, however, there was some criticism about its pricing. Arrowhead swiftly acknowledged players’ feedback and decided to give players some items for free.

As compared to the Warhammer franchise, Helldivers is still a fairly new franchise to many players all over the world. So it’s hard to say if Helldivers 2 will ever be able to overtake Space Marine 2 in terms of popularity. Space Marine 2 also features a PvP mode, something that Arrowhead never plans to integrate into Helldivers 2.

Despite stiff competition, Helldivers 2 had continued to maintain a steady active player count, but the journey wasn’t an easy one. The game was on the verge of dying as the player base started shrinking due to unnecessary nerfs and the PSN account linking policy.

Arrowhead came up with a new plan and used players’ feedback to improve the game. Once again, it has managed to become one of the most popular games in the world, but if Arrowhead wants it to overtake Space Marine 2, then the studio must continue adding exciting, fresh content.
