HELLDIVERS 2 Adds STAR WARS Mod for Intense Clone Wars Roleplay

May 13, 2024 2:19 PM

Helldivers 2 fans and Star Wars enthusiasts are set for an exciting crossover with an upcoming mod pack that transforms the cooperative shooter game into a Clone Wars battleground. Modders Irastris and Kboy, along with YouTuber ToastedShoes, have collaborated to bring clone trooper skins, Star Wars ships, droids, and more to the Helldivers 2 experience. A preview shared on Twitter showcases the Star Wars-themed combat, though the full mod pack is pending release after further testing across different planets and difficulties. In anticipation, players can access a separate mod via Nexus Mods which allows them to play as Halo's Master Chief, despite potential risks with the game's anti-cheat system. This news follows a recent controversy where Sony retracted a decision requiring PC gamers to link a PSN account to play Helldivers 2 after community backlash. Fans of the game are keen to embrace the new Star Wars content as speculation grows about other possible crossovers.

When will the Helldivers 2 Star Wars mod pack be released?

The mod pack is not yet publicly available, as the creators want to address some inconsistencies across various game environments before release. They have not announced a specific release date, but players can follow updates from the developers for the latest information.
