Seasons greetings, Helldivers!

We’re here to talk to you about our crossover with Killzone, which added new premium items to the Superstore.

As this was our first crossover offering, we’ve been listening to the response, and the feedback we’ve received from our community surveys is that crossover content is really high up on your wishlists.

At the same time, some of you are not happy with the prices of the items and we will revisit this.

Many of you were also concerned that items wouldn’t be in rotation for long enough, and there was a bit of concern around how these items exist outside of our usual Warbond releases, which are always themed in our own universe.

Because of all this, in partnership with our friends at Guerrilla (and as we’re in the season of holiday cheer), we’ve decided to offer a gift to all players.

Firstly, we are gifting to everyone the planned second wave of the Helldivers x Killzone collaboration items today, free of charge. The distribution of those items will begin shortly.

As such we're also going to extend the duration of the items currently in the Superstore from 5 days to 10 days so that you have a chance to get hold of it and reduce the risk of missing out.

We’re also investigating solutions for how we can bring these items back permanently in the future.

The W.A.S.P. stratagem will be available for you all to unlock via a major order shortly.

We hope you have a great holiday period, and continue to enjoy spreading managed democracy in Omens of Tyranny!

Merry Christmas,

Arrowhead Game Studios & Guerrilla

Amazing news!

The free pack:

I still find it weird that they decided to brand this a collaboration with Killzone 2 specifically rather than with just, you know, Killzone as an IP, even if all the content still was all from the second game.

Do they see KZ2 as a bigger deal - 91MC, let's not forget - than the series as a whole? And are they doing an active effort to position it in such way? What for? Is it coming back courtesy of PlayStation's remake machine?

Or they're dropping more Killzone down the line.

Still a bit sad that the Uncharted remake didn't add the crossover skins for use in singleplayer..

When people talk about Killzone, it's always, ALWAYS about KZ2.

If Bungie ever goes back to doing a single player FPS. Killzone should be the IP Sony hands them.

God damn Higs! Where are my ISA troopers!?

And for good reason. Even the A.I. is better than KZ3.

And for good reason. Even the A.I. is better than KZ3.

As well as the ragdoll animations, atmosphere and gunplay.

 

[j0hnnix]

Did it ever get a Pro patch?

 

[DeepEnigma]

Not yet. They did acknowledge that they're working on one.

Very small team, but hopefully with Sony starting to invest in them more, they do so on the technical front to assist them with that.

I was curious if i had missed something with this update. It still runs great on the Pro.

 

[Revolutionary]

Was gonna buy the second wave but free is more than acceptable. Thanks Arrowhead!

So next time people tell you that complaining about things to a developer won't change anything, remind them of this.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Man with the Illuminate update, and now this, I can’t help but feel picking this up for Black Friday was one of the best decisions I’ve made recently.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

KZ2 remake when, cowards

Arrowhead is great, not taking anything away from them. But, I swear they do things like this to show how they are different from pretty much every other major gaas game. They are getting more props now than if they just gave out the skins for free, from the beginning, lol

I do gotta say. I'm getting like 3x the amount of Super Credits on average with the illuminate. All the treasure spots are mostly confined to the urban streets. Really easy

So if I bought this now, would I still get the Killzone stuff? Or is it just for existing players?

 

[Jesb]

These guys seem like a good fit to make one of these games.

Yes. If you log in, you will get the free stuff as “major order completion” rewards.

Can confirm, just logged in and got it all.

I just logged and played a couple of missions and got nothing from the free Killzine collab... I'm from Spain
