Arrowhead's acclaimed co-op shooter launches for Microsoft's consoles alongside a new Halo 3: ODST-themed Legendary Warbond.
The new Legendary Warbond, priced at 1,500 Super Credits, brings new armour, cosmetic items, and weapons based on Halo 3: ODST.
Super Earth just got a whole lot bigger. Helldivers II joins the Xbox community with a generously-priced and feature complete port of the co-op shooter.
In a comment section full of excitement over references to Halo 3: ODST in a new Helldivers 2 trailer, Xbox is also joining in on the fun.
An explosive trailer concludes with a familiar tone and a rainy city at night ahead of its Xbox Series X/S launch on August 26th.
CEO Shams Jorjani spoke about this when discussing the hypothetical project that the studio would work on after Helldivers 2.
Shams Jorjani took to the game's official Discord channel to call the decision by PlayStation "one of the coolest things they've done."
Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani acknowledged that the co-op shooter isn't "in tip-top shape right now" and apologised for the inconvenience.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Mafia: The Old Country, and Gears of War: Reloaded are among the biggest games of the month.
Players have been facing performance issues since earlier this year, and Arrowhead Game Studios is focused on fixing them first.
Studio CEO Shams Jorjani spoke about how its focus for the time being is to continue working on more content for Helldivers 2.
Helldivers 2 community manager Katherine Baskin did, however, mention that these content plans can be changed in the future.
Exploding turrets, a seven-barrel weapon that can harm you, and an auto-revive that constantly drains health all await players.
Community manager Katherine Baskin said the team is "looking for ways to provide more challenge," but couldn't go into specifics.
Xbox, PlayStation and PC players can group courtesy of cross-play, but it's unknown if cross-progression will ever be added.
The Warbond Token allows players to pick any premium Warbond of their choice rather than being stuck with Steeled Veterans.
The critically acclaimed and commercially massive co-op shooter is finally coming to Xbox, with pre-orders currently live.
Sony has seemingly backtracked on restricting purchases in several countries after its PSN account linking controversy from last year.
The Unflinching and Integrated Explosives armor passives have also improved, and Illuminate Harvesters become easier to kill.
The deal between Tencent and the studio was valued at around $83 million, bringing up Arrowhead's value up to around $532 million.
