One day after Arrowhead Game Studios launched Helldivers 2 version 01.000.008, the Stockholm-based developers released a follow-up patch that PC and PS5 players should download as soon as possible. The latest Helldivers 2 update, version 01.000.009, brought more fixes and stability to the game and addressed some reported crashes.
Helldivers 2 is awarding all players a 50 per cent XP and requisition bonus to compensate players for «a problem» that's preventing players from receiving the correct rewards at the end of missions.
The director of Helldivers 2 says the team is "completely exhausted" by the success of the shooter, but "very, very pleased" with how it's shaping up.
Helldivers 2 dropped its first live-service twist last night, as its robotic automaton faction abruptly invaded several human planets, forcing players to heel-turn away from the Terminid frontline to undertake defensive missions halfway across the galaxy. It's likely this event has been planned by developers Arrowhead Game Studios for a while, but according to the studio's CEO Johan Pilestedt, the longer-term future of Helldivers 2 might be very different from what Arrowhead originally planned.
Helldivers 2 director Johan Pilestedt is hoping the game's second weekend will go much smoother than its first.
Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt responds to a fan question regarding the potential addition of a PvP dedicated mode every coming to Helldivers 2 at some point in the future. It's been a wild week for Arrowhead and Helldivers 2, which experienced unprecedented success following the game's launch on PC and PS5. Quickly becoming Steam's top-selling game in the US and Sony's most concurrently played game on Steam, the crush of players had a negative impact on Helldivers 2's servers forcing the studio to enter crisis mode to fix backend issues and load.
Arrowhead Game Studios, the studio that developed the recently released Helldivers 2, is planning to expand the size of its team following the shooter's successful launch. The relatively small team of around 100 employees has been trying to address the many issues that have been plaguing its latest release.
Bad news if you were looking forward to executing your friends in the name of managed democracy: Helldivers 2 creative director and Arrowhead studio CEO Johan Pilestedt says the game will "'never' add a PVP mode," and that you'd be better off looking elsewhere to get your fix of player-vs-player mayhem. For instance, maybe you've heard of a little game called Escape from Tarkov?
