We suppose this should not be a revelatory assertion for Arrowhead Game Studios to make, however its not too long ago launched co-op shooter, Helldivers 2, will stay a strictly co-op shooter. The PS5 and PC title has been an enormous hit up to now, with overwhelmingly constructive reception, promoting over 1,000,000 copies at this level, and reaching file excessive figures on Steam for PlayStation. Despite that, there’s some pushback in opposition to the sport from these demanding it add aggressive, or PvP, modes.
We’ve seen this sentiment floating round because the recreation’s launch, and now, Arrowhead’s CEO has made a agency assertion on the matter. Responding on social media to a fan requesting PvP to be added to Helldivers 2, Johan Pilestedt stated it will “never” occur:
The reasoning for the sport sticking to co-op (PvE) is primarily associated to the potential toxicity that may include pitting gamers in opposition to one another. “We want an environment that’s supportive, fun and where we all are fighting on the same side,” Pilestedt says.
So, there you go. Right from the pinnacle honcho of the developer, Helldivers 2 will stay a co-op solely recreation. Are you content Arrowhead is sticking to its weapons, or would you’ve gotten wished some aggressive motion down the road? Discuss within the feedback part under.
