Halo Comes to PlayStation via Helldivers 2 Crossover Warbond

Halo is officially making its way to PlayStation, but not in the traditional sense. Instead of Master Chief leading the charge, fans will see Halo’s ODST legacy brought into Helldivers 2 through a special crossover event. The Halo: ODST Legendary Warbond launches on August 26, 2025, coinciding with the game’s arrival on Xbox Series X/S. Full details were shared in the official PlayStation Blog announcement.

For longtime gamers, the reveal trailer feels surreal: a Halo-branded announcement opening with the PlayStation Studios logo. Twenty years ago, when Xbox and PlayStation stood on opposite ends of the console divide, such a crossover would have been unthinkable. Yet in 2025, with Gears of War: Reloaded heading to PlayStation 5 next week and multiple former Xbox exclusives already crossing platforms, the industry’s landscape has changed. That doesn’t make this collaboration any less exciting for fans nostalgic for Halo’s influence.

The Halo ODST Legendary Warbond will include:

  • The MA5C Assault Rifle and M6C/SOCOM Pistol, classic Halo weapons faithfully adapted for Helldivers combat.

  • An ODST-inspired armor set that captures the iconic design Halo fans know well.

  • New capes, armor passives, player banners, and player titles to further customize soldiers of Super Earth.

This crossover arrives on the same day Helldivers 2 officially launches on Xbox Series X/S, bringing the cooperative third-person shooter to an even broader audience. Fittingly, August 26 is also the date that Gears of War: Reloaded makes its long-awaited debut on PlayStation 5, symbolizing the era of cross-platform gaming that once seemed impossible.

 
Do you think crossovers like Halo in Helldivers 2 are fun nods to gaming history, or would you prefer full Halo games making their way to PlayStation?
