Helldivers' creative boss doesn't want to 'dilute' it with crossovers, but his list of dream choices has some real deep cuts

A Helldivers 2 soldier in a dense jungle poses with two fingers outstretched. In their other hand balances a cool-looking throwing knife aimed at the enemies of liberty.

The creative director of Helldivers 2 doesn't want to do too many crossovers with their wildly successful co-op shooter—it already has enough character and flair for itself and has barely started to retread the cool stuff from the first game. That said, CCO Johan Pilestedt does have a big ol' nerd laundry list of his favorite things he'd be open to doing a crossover with if the vibe was right.

Pilestedt's tweet came in a response to a story noting a crossover desire he'd floated late last week with tabletop game setting Trench Crusade. He was clear that he'd like to avoid an excess of crossovers, and noted that "these are just musings, if we were to do all of them, it would dilute the IP and make it a 'not Helldivers' experience."
