Titanfall 2. Remember that game? It’s been a beloved yet underappreciated gem in the FPS genre with a sequel that never arrived. And with EA’s cancellation of the unannounced Titanfall Legends project, there’s really no hope that we can hold onto. However, a Helldivers 2 crossover might be what we need.
Arrowhead Game Studios’ co-op shooter was one of 2024’s biggest games and has continued its success in 2025. And after the recent Killzone crossover, fans want Titanfall to be next, and it makes sense. It’d be super cool to see the Titans in a Helldivers setting, and with the existence of Exosuits, it makes sense too. So while we aren’t getting a new Titanfall game anytime soon, at least this seems possible.
Helldivers 2 could be the way Titanfall makes a comeback
If you think about it initially, Titanfall and Helldivers might seem like very different games. Titanfall is known for its highly innovative, fast-paced movement system and massive, high-tech Titans, while Helldivers 2 is more about tactical cooperative gameplay with friends. So why are we and the community asking Arrowhead to listen to this crossover request?
The titanfall mechs would rock

Okay, so let’s start by saying that a crossover between Helldivers 2 and Titanfall 2 makes sense on multiple levels. In terms of theme, both games are about soldiers fighting a war against a great enemy. While Helldivers 2 leans into a satirical, dystopian future where democracy is spread by force, Titanfall 2 is a bit more serious in its tone and setting. But we think it makes perfect sense.
Both games have mechs, and that’s where it could truly shine. They’re known as Exosuits in Helldivers 2 and Titans in Titanfall 2 and if we could see Titanfall-style mechs in HD2, there’s no doubt about whether it’d be a hit. Even beyond the mechs and Titans, we could see some iconic weapons like the C.A.R. SMG or the Smart Pistol make it over to HD2.
We know this is going to happen because the Titanfall devs love to have Titanfall exist in all ways but in its own game.

We wouldn’t be talking about this if we were the only ones who wanted this. And we aren’t. The Helldivers 2 community is very much in support of this crossover and many fans have previously brought up ideas and theories of their own about exactly how it would be done. The part that gives us the most hope is that it wouldn’t be the first time Arrowhead does something like this.
We’ve seen what these kinds of crossovers can look like
Helldivers 2 has already shown that collaborations with older franchises can work. The recent crossover with Killzone was largely successful but was met with backlash due to its pricing model. The devs acknowledged the feedback and apologized so we hopefully won’t have to spend over $40 to acquire all exclusive items next time.
Despite being widely considered one of the best FPS games of its generation, Titanfall 2 has been slowly fading into irrelevance. And it really sucks, because if you’ve played the game, you know how good it is and that it deserves so much more. EA’s focus on Apex Legends left the franchise in limbo, and the recent cancellation of Titanfall Legends has only made that harder.
Titanfall 2 was truly a game ahead of its time. And while a collab won’t really do much at this point, we’ll at least get some recognition, and of course, a great crossover in general. Arrowhead has been known to listen to its community and we hope they at least attempt to give us this crossover.
