Helldivers 2 Launches with Crossplay and Innovative Co-op Features

The sequel to the popular co-op shooter introduces third-person gameplay, real-time game master influence, and promises community-driven post-launch updates.

Helldivers 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2015 co-op shooter, officially launches on February 8, 2024, for PC and PlayStation 5, featuring crossplay between these platforms.
The game introduces a new third-person shooter experience, diverging from its predecessor's top-down perspective, and has quickly soared to the top of Steam's charts on launch day.
Helldivers 2 does not include a single-player campaign, focusing instead on a multiplayer co-op experience, with up to four players able to join forces in battling alien threats.
The game features human game masters who can influence co-op fights in real-time by tweaking battles with buffs and debuffs, adding a unique dynamic to gameplay.
Post-launch updates are confirmed, promising to expand the game's universe with new challenges, tools, and threats, influenced by the player community's actions.
