Helldivers 2 Teases Halo: ODST Crossover Ahead of Xbox Release

Helldivers 2, a PlayStation Studios hit with 12 million copies sold, teases Halo 3: ODST crossover to boost excitement for its Xbox Series X|S launch on August 26.

  • Ahead of Helldivers 2’s Xbox launch on August 26, 2025, developer Arrowhead Game Studios has hinted at a crossover event featuring elements from Halo 3: ODST.
  • This crossover speculation follows Arrowhead's prior cautious approach to blending external IPs only when they fit Helldivers’ lore, as stated by Creative Head Johan Pilestedt last year.
  • The 'Bring the Boom' trailer targeting Xbox players contains visual and musical cues, including the ODST drop pod and distinctive 2009 Halo 3: ODST soundtrack, suggesting in-game additions like armor and weapon skins.
  • Helldivers 2 launched in February 2024 on PC and PS5, selling 12 million copies in 12 weeks, and its Xbox debut is expected to expand the player base and enable crossplay across all platforms.
  • The anticipated Halo crossover could introduce new themed content and missions, reflecting a strategic expansion by Arrowhead that aligns with community excitement and prospects for future collaborations.
