Helldivers 2 is closing out the summer with an update as massive as the extraterrestrial bugs you exterminate in it. It’s making its Xbox debut this week, marking one of the rare times a PlayStation exclusive makes the multiplatform jump. Dropping alongside the Xbox version is a dream cosmetic crossover with Halo 3: ODST, which brings the legendary weapons and armor of the 2009 interquel into Helldivers. And to top it all off, the game is getting its most unique update yet on September 2.
Helldivers 2: Into the Unjust is the next big update for Arrowhead Studio’s co-op extraction shooter. It’s all about taking the fight directly to the insectoid Terminids, and to do so, Helldivers are being sent into the Gloom, the yellow fog that’s consumed star systems and turned planets into Hive Worlds. While this update will have big implications for Helldivers 2’s ongoing story, I’m most interested in how Super Earth’s latest operation will impact gameplay.
