Arrowhead Studios (Magicka) is teaming with Sony and Foster City Studios for a new title called Helldivers. Originally shown at Sony's Gamescom press event, the top-down shooter will feature cross-play and cross-save between PS4, PS3, and Vita.

The PlayStation.Blog goes into more detail on Arrowhead's upcoming title. The game will take place in a "satirical and dystopian future," where players will control an elite unit called the Helldivers to battle across procedurally-generated battlefields. The game will feature single-player and four-player co-op--with friendly fire enabled, so watch where you're aiming that gun, soldier!

Arrowhead remains coy on details of Helldiver's campaign, only noting that it's a co-op game that will depend on the entirety of the game's community. A release date for Helldivers has not been revealed.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
