Arrowhead Says Helldivers 2–Fortnite Crossover Not a Priority for Now

The comment reflects the studio’s selective approach to collaborations.

Overview

  • On the Helldivers 2 Discord, CEO Shams Jorjani said a Fortnite tie-in is "not a priority" while adding, "But who knows one day... [Fortnite] is cool. And quite big."
  • No collaboration has been announced or confirmed, with coverage framing a crossover as possible down the line rather than imminent.
  • Fortnite’s Shock ’N Awesome season features a bug invasion with nests, egg sacs, drop pods, and a giant Queen, drawing comparisons to Helldivers 2’s swarm-focused gameplay.
  • Media noted Epic introduced the Queen before Arrowhead added its own Hive Lord in the recent Into the Unjust update for Helldivers 2.
  • Arrowhead has previously greenlit limited tie-ins such as Halo ODST and Killzone content, and creative director Johan Pilestedt has cautioned against crossovers that could dilute the game’s universe.
