Even Helldivers 2 studio CEO agrees Fortnite's new bug-squashing season "feels very democratic," but only God and General Brasch know if that makes an official collab more or less likely

Could you be more vague?

A Helldivers 2 and Fortnite collaboration is apparently so far from reality that it might as well be in space, but then how do you explain the fact that even Helldivers developer Arrowhead's CEO Shams Jorjani agrees Fortnite's new season seems pointedly "democratic"?

No, really – how do you explain it? I can't tell if Jorjani is simply being sarcastic or getting mentally ready to do an ostentatious crossover reveal in his recent response to a fan on Discord. One player asked him about Fortnite's recent Shock 'N Awesome season, in which you must squish alien bugs for humanity – you know, like in Helldivers.

Jorjani has apparently nothing more to add to this – though, it's perhaps worth remembering that Helldivers 2 is quietly continuing to pursue collaborations after introducing some Killzone cosmetics in late 2024. That said, this ongoing initiative doesn't make just any IP interesting to Arrowhead. If it did, Jorjani would be nicer about a possible Umamusume crossover with Helldivers, which another fan on Discord demanded to have.
