Helldivers 2 CEO Promises Chainswords: Prepare for Some Bloody Good Fun!
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani confirmed that a chainsword is coming to *Helldivers 2*, hinting at a potential *Warhammer 40K* crossover and promising some epic melee action. Get ready to liberate planets with roaring, teeth-filled blades!
Right, so the folks over at Arrowhead Game Studios, the absolute legends behind *Helldivers 2*, are apparently dead set on giving us something we've been drooling over: chainswords. According to Game Rant, Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani has confirmed that they “won’t rest” until the previously leaked weapon is added to the game. Bloody oath, that’s commitment!
Now, you might be thinking, "Chainswords? Sounds a bit Warhammer 40K-ish, doesn't it?" And you wouldn't be wrong, mate. There's been whispers and rumors of a *Helldivers 2* and *Warhammer 40K* crossover swirling around for a while now. Jorjani himself even stoked the fires of speculation, which, let's be honest, sent the internet into a glorious frenzy. Imagine mowing down hordes of bugs (or, you know, whatever horrors 40K could throw at us) with a roaring, teeth-filled blade.
It's fair dinkum that *Helldivers 2* has had a few bumps in the road, but you can't fault Arrowhead's dedication to giving players what they want. They've been patching, tweaking, and adding content like absolute madmen since launch. And it seems they're not slowing down anytime soon. We're talking new enemies (apparently an "Observer" type enemy is in the works), new Automaton homeworld (New Cyberstan), and who knows what other surprises are lurking in the code. (Massive credit where it's due - this was first reported by Game Rant, so hats off to them for digging it up!).
The buzz around the chainsword really took off back in February when a leaker known as IronS1ghts shared a tantalizing silhouette. It was enough to send *Helldivers 2* fans into a collective state of hype. But until now we've only had breadcrumbs of evidence.
So, when can we expect to be wielding these glorious instruments of bug-splattering mayhem? Jorjani isn't giving away any dates just yet, but the fact that he's publicly acknowledged the chainsword and the team's commitment to it is a promising sign. Personally, I reckon it's only a matter of time before we're all revving up our chainswords and charging headfirst into the thick of it. Now *that* is something to look forward to! Here's hoping there are other melee weapons too like a giant hammer, or an axe! Now that is something I would pay to see.
(And let's be honest, a proper crossover with Warhammer 40K would be absolutely mental. Just imagine the possibilities... but I digress. For now, let's focus on the glorious promise of chainswords.)
