Despite Fortnite’s Bug Invasion, Don’t Expect A Helldivers 2 Crossover Anytime Soon

Fortnite’s bug-filled Shock ‘N Awesome season certainly invokes Helldivers 2’s galactic war against the Terminids, but don’t expect an official collab between the two games anytime soon.

That’s according to Shams Jorjani, CEO of Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead. In a response to a question from a fan on the Helldivers 2 Discord about whether Super Earth’s Helldivers could make an appearance in Fortnite (via VideoGamer), he said a collab between the two third-person shooters is “not a priority.” However, Jorjani didn’t rule out the possibility of a crossover entirely.

“But who knows one day,” Jorjani said. “[Fortnite] is cool. And quite big.”

Fortnite’s current Chapter 6 Season 4 saw its map transformed by a bug invasion, infesting certain regions of the map with nests and egg sacs and tasking players with stamping out the swarm. Players can even call in drop pods filled with exotic-quality weapons to help eradicate the bugs, similar to Helldivers 2’s support weapon stratagems.

It’s all more than a little inspired by Helldivers 2, but Fortnite developer Epic somehow managed to beat Arrowhead at its own game by introducing a massive alien bug worm, the Queen, before Helldivers 2 could. Arrowhead’s own giant worm, the Hive Lord, was recently added as part of Helldivers 2’s most recent Into the Unjust update.

While Fortnite is known for its various crossovers (the Shock ‘N Awesome battle pass includes not only Power Rangers skins but also ones from Halo), Helldivers 2 is getting in on the action as well. Released alongside Helldivers 2’s launch on Xbox, a Halo ODST Legendary Warbond features four Halo weapons and two Halo-inspired armor sets. It’s the game’s second crossover, following the release of various cosmetics and weapons based on Sony’s Killzone franchise last year.
