Helldivers 2 Trailer Teases Halo 3: ODST Crossover Ahead of Xbox Launch

The video’s closing shot uses Halo 3: ODST’s saxophone motif to stoke hope for a cosmetic crossover that lacks confirmed scope or release timing.

Overview

  • Helldivers 2 will launch on Xbox Series X|S on August 26 with full cross-platform support.
  • The “Bring the Boom” clip ends on a rain-soaked cityscape with a Helljumper drop-pod paired with the ODST saxophone score from Halo 3: ODST.
  • Arrowhead previously added Killzone’s Helghast cosmetics and has said it will only pursue crossovers that “make sense,” suggesting any Halo content will focus on armor and weapon skins.
  • It is not yet clear whether the teased crossover will be exclusive to Xbox or also available on PS5 and PC through the game’s cross-play framework.
  • Arrowhead leadership has described August as a “busy month” and CEO Shams Jorjani jokingly urged fans to “prepare your pants,” indicating more announcements may arrive before or at launch.
