Helldivers crosses over with Warhammer for satire squared

They're calling it the most misunderstood collab of all time. Both horde shooter Helldivers 2 and tabletop game Warhammer 40,000 have fallen into the same trap: being satirical critiques of fascism that are somehow too subtle to keep actual fascists from unironically adopting them. It's a match made in heaven, but it might also result in the most insufferable fanbase in history.

After a crossover with Halo a while back, Helldivers is dipping into the synergy jar once again. The next big collab will bring armor and weapons from the dark future of Warhammer to the only slightly less dark future of Helldivers — more than anything, I'm curious to see how the art styles translate given that everyone in Warhammer is shaped like an angry bull elephant.

None of the assets were actually shown, mind. We just know it's coming at some point. Helldivers 2 hasn't left my hard drive since it managed to crunch itself down to a nice, slim 20 gigabytes last year, but it might be time to actually start playing it again.
