PlayStation teases epic Xbox crossover between Halo and Helldivers 2

Arrowhead Studios, the developers behind Helldivers 2, PlayStation's largest live-service game, have seemingly teased the addition of Xbox's Halo, making an appearance with two notes of an iconic soundtrack.

A new trailer posted to the official Helldivers 2 YouTube account celebrates the launch of Helldivers 2 on Xbox consoles on August 26, but at the end of the trailer is saxophone music that is undoubtedly going to cause the hairs on the back of Halo fans' necks to stand up. While the trailer doesn't directly mention a Halo crossover to Helldivers 2, the music that is heard at the end of the trailer is extremely similar, some would say identical to the Halo 3 ODST soundtrack.

The iconic soundtrack being heard at the end of the trailer implies there will be some kind of crossover event, probably around the launch of Helldivers 2 on Xbox consoles. It isn't accidental that we get a teaser for Halo coming to Helldivers 2 right before Helldivers 2 launches on Xbox consoles. The big question now is, will Master Chief, or whatever the crossover Halo content is, be playable on the PlayStation version of the game?

At launch, Helldivers 2 will have full cross-platform multiplayer, so it would be strange for the Halo content to be gatekept on only one platform. For fans holding out, Master Chief is a playable character in Fortnite, which is available on every platform, including PlayStation.
