Hellbreakers 2 Unveils Explosive Trailer Commemorating Xbox Debut – Appears to Hint at Cross-Over with Halo 3: ODST
In an exciting turn of events, Helldivers 2 and Halo 3: ODST are set to collaborate in a major franchise crossover. This collaboration, officially confirmed for August 26, 2025, will see the launch of Helldivers 2 on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC[1][3][5].
The crossover event, dubbed the "Halo: ODST Legendary Warbond", brings a host of new features for players to enjoy[1][2][3][4][5]. Four iconic Halo weapons, including the MA5C Assault Rifle, M7S SMG (silenced), M90A Shotgun, and M6C/SOCOM Magnum sidearm, have been recreated with functional details like ammo counters and suppressors[1][2][4][5].
Two armor sets, ODST and Recon, inspired by Halo 3: ODST’s soldiers, allow players to dress like the franchise’s elite troops[1][2][3][4][5]. Additionally, players can expect four vehicle skins, two capes, two player banners, and a player title as part of the crossover[1][3][5].
The crossover content is delivered via a special Legendary Warbond system, Helldivers 2’s version of a battle pass, costing 1,500 Super Credits (earnable in-game or purchasable), which does not expire like standard Warbonds[1][3]. The collaboration also includes a playful new easter egg spin on a classic Halo reference incorporated into the M6C Magnum weapon, blending Helldivers’ style with Halo lore[4].
One intriguing feature is the "Feet First" armor passive, which reduces movement noise, grants immunity to leg injuries, and increases discovery range by 30%[3].
This collaboration marks the first major franchise crossover event for Helldivers 2 and offers extensive Halo-themed gear and gameplay customization for fans of both series[1][2][3][5]. The aesthetic similarity between ODSTs in Halo 3: ODST and Helldivers is evident, adding to the immersive experience.
Meanwhile, Sony-owned PlayStation is returning the favor by bringing some of its games to Xbox, with Forza Horizon 5 being one example[6]. The possibility of God of War or Horizon Zero Dawn on Xbox is no longer unthinkable.
For those eager to voice their preferences for future crossovers, a poll is available on the website[7]. Users can also subscribe to the website's newsletter for the latest news, reviews, and guides for both Windows and Xbox diehards.
