![]() Not only will you have a host of superpowered primary weapons and customizable loadouts, you also have the ability to call on stratagems during play. OVERPOWERED WEAPONS & OVERWHELMING FOESWe don’t send our Helldivers planet side without proper back up, but it’s up to you to decide how and when to call it in. The Helldivers must take on the role of galactic peacekeepers in this Galactic War and protect their home planet, spread the message of Democracy, and liberate the hostiles by force. Team up with up to four friends and wreak havoc on the alien scourge that threatens the safety of your home, Super Earth. ![]() You’ll step into the boots of 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. These are under attack from deadly alien civilizations, conspiring to destroy the Super Earth and its values. The best part about this reveal is that we won’t have to wait long as Helldivers 2 is scheduled to release in 2023 and if the reaction from the studio at the reveal is any indication to go by, they should be hitting this target.Join the Helldivers to fight for freedom across a hostile galaxy in third-person shooter operations.įIGHT FOR SUPER EARTHFreedom. Also being this close to the action will hopefully allow you to target enemies tactically by possibly shooting legs off bugs to slow them down and things of that nature. Customization of your weapon with long scopes or short scopes will change how you approach the game. This change will likely lead to a lot more tactical changes and options. The transition to third person does open up the door to new opportunities and features. This removed a lot of the bombastic nature of the game, and hopefully for the times that you just don’t want to play online with randoms and your squad isn’t on, there will be some type of AI squadmates that you can deploy with. This did allow you to play the game but it made it very hard and very slow because you had to play very cautiously. You could play Helldivers in single player but it would only send you out alone. To activate something deadly might require the right combination of buttons from two players simultaneously. I assume the same thing goes for stratagems. This leads me to believe that some of the more deadly weapons will require two people to operate. Success is very hard without strong communication and watching your friendly fire, but in the trailer, you can see one player loading another players weapon. Helldivers 2 is looking to be turning up the co-op and teamwork aspect of the game to 11. Finally, Helldivers 2 is only coming to PS5 and not PS4, which means that they will need a bigger pool of players, leading to cross play making a lot of sense. Helldivers came out on PC about six months after the PlayStation version and it seems with Helldivers 2, they will both be launching at the same time. The first game was crossplay between PS3, PS4 and Vita, so the team has some understanding of how to incorporate a feature like that. ![]() Will Helldivers 2 have cross play? I would lean towards that it will for a few reasons. One of the most requested features from Helldivers was cross play between PC and PlayStation. Outside of changing perspective, here are few things that will hopefully make their way into the sequel. The choice to develop strictly on PS5 and PC is evident in the trailer as the visuals are stunning with the amount of things happening on the screen at once, the destruction of the bugs, and the lighting effects. This is divergent from the path Returnal took as it was a brand new IP from Housemarque, so there was no alienating people initially (pun intended) The switch to third person might be a pain point for some fans of the series, but Helldivers does have a strong cult following who will give it a chance. The same core elements are still present in Helldivers 2 with the four player alien liberating gameplay along with friendly fire, stratagems and tongue in cheek tone. ![]() The big question is after the success of Returnal, will Arrowhead be able to make the same leap forward with Helldivers 2?
