Helldivers 2 is a co-op shooter where players land on dangerous planets to take down deadly aliens and complete objectives. The gameplay revolves around using lethal and over-the-top weapons and explosives to blow everything apart – including your team.
The recent Bile Titan Liberation Gameplay showcased some of this intense action as players tried to take down a towering creature. You can see as the damage was being dealt to the alien, it was falling apart and getting more aggressive.
Players are also quite squishy in Helldivers 2. This means you die pretty fast and your teammates can easily squash, shoot and blow you to pieces. Take a look at the latest gameplay trailer below. Helldivers 2 launches on 8 February 2024 for PS5 and PC with cross-play support.
