The original “Helldivers” launched in 2015 as a cooperative twin-stick shooter. The game follows an elite military unit fighting alien threats across the galaxy in defence of “Super Earth.”
The franchise expanded with “Helldivers 2” in 2024. The sequel sold more than 12 million copies across PlayStation 5 and PC in its first four months.
Hutch Parker is producing the film with PlayStation Productions head Asad Qizilbash and Justin Lin through Perfect Storm Entertainment.
