Arrowhead Game Studios' Helldivers 2 is gearing up for its release on Xbox consoles, and appears to be teasing a crossover with Halo 3: ODST. The PlayStation-published game is taking a big step across the console wars aisle after being available on PC for roughly a year and a half.
At the end of a new, explosive trailer featuring P.O.D.'s "Boom," Helldivers 2 makes a very pointed change in music. A final clip shows a Hellpod descending on a rainy city as the first two notes from the Halo 3: ODST soundtrack play, the haunting intro to the game's overture. This seems to suggest that Helldivers 2 will receive crossover cosmetics and potentially weapons from the 2009 spin-off. Precedent for such a crossover has already been set by the inclusion of Killzone items.
Helldivers 2 is coming to Xbox on August 26, making it the first PlayStation-published title on the competing platform. The teasing of ODST content this early suggests a potential crossover could coincide with the launch, or arrive shortly thereafter. Helldivers' last crossover, with Killzone, caused some controversy for being more expensive than the other cosmetics already in-game.
If the Killzone items are anything...
