PlayStation fans are getting a taste of Halo’s iconic universe, though not through a traditional release. A surprise collaboration between Helldivers 2 and Halo: ODST introduces a Legendary Warbond, bringing ODST-inspired gear to the game on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC alongside its Xbox launch.

Imagine showing this trailer—featuring the PlayStation Studios intro followed by Halo content—to someone in 2005. The shock of such cross-platform synergy would’ve been unthinkable back then. Fast-forward to 2025, and with franchises like Gears of War: Reloaded jumping to PS5, these once-exclusive boundaries continue to blur, offering nostalgic thrills for veterans of the console wars.

Highlights of the Warbond include fan-favorite ODST armor designs, the MA5C Assault Rifle, and the M6C/SOCOM sidearm. Players can also unlock customized capes, stat-boosting armor modules, emblems, and new titles to showcase their allegiance to the Halo-verse within Helldivers 2.

The crossover content launches August 26, 2025—coinciding with Helldivers 2’s Xbox debut and the PS5 release of Gears of War: Reloaded, marking another milestone in gaming’s evolving cross-platform era.
