Sony Interactive Entertainment and Arrowhead Game Studios have unveiled a launch trailer for Helldivers 2. The trailer has a satirical Starship Troopers-like tone and vibe.

The third-person cooperative team shooter will have players step into the boots of the Helldivers, an elite class of soldiers whose mission is to spread peace, liberty and Managed Democracy using the biggest, baddest and most explosive tools in the galaxy. Helldivers don’t go planet side without proper backup, but it’s up to you to decide how and when to call it in. Not only do you have a host of superpowered primary weapons and customizable loadouts, you also have the ability to call on stratagems during play.

Freedom. Peace. Managed Democracy. Your Super Earth-born rights. The key pillars of our civilization are under attack from deadly alien creatures conspiring to destroy your planet and its values. The Helldivers must take on the role of peacekeepers in this Galactic War and protect their home planet, spread the message of Democracy and repel the hostiles by force.

Helldivers is slated to launch for the PS5 and PC via Steam on 8 February 2024.
