Helldivers II has reached almost 23 million players
Sony's live-service efforts have rarely made either the company, investors, or gamers happy, but there is one obvious exception.
Sony's live-service efforts have rarely made either the company, investors, or gamers happy, but there is one obvious exception.
Expect a few new weapons and plenty of cosmetics as part of this Legendary Warbond.
Expect to hear how the world of Warhammer 40,000 will be incorporated into Arrowhead's action game very soon.
Michael Eriksson, game director at Arrowhead, has announced this upcoming partnership between the two IPs.
This also includes Bloodborne, a series Sony has pretended doesn't exist for a very long time.
The representative of the Federation of Super Earth was very nearly played by someone else, but Craig Lee Thomas stepped in at the last moment to fit the bill.
It's dropping from 154GB to as little as 23GB, thanks to technical wizardry from Nixxes.
And be written by the guy that made Until Dawn, It and The Nun.
Quick, can somebody make sure all major publishers get this important memo from Arrowhead Game Studios...
Live service games need a big audience to be successful, and spreading out across more formats seems to be a winning concept.
It seems like Sony will be very happy with the Xbox sales numbers for their smash hit Helldivers II.
After its Xbox launch, Arrowhead's co-op shooter has gained fresh momentum and boosted its already impressive sales figures, with analysts now estimating a massive 18 million copies sold across platforms.
Now all we need is a Warhammer 40K collab and we'll have the trio of soldiers known for dropping from space to the battlefield.
From Super Earth to New Mombasa.
It seems the developers want us to enjoy Helldivers II while it lasts rather than look at the future of the series.
*Teleports behind you* ... heh, nothing personal, bug.
The action game will lose its PlayStation 5 exclusivity this summer.
Helldivers II players can finally rejoice and rejoin the fight for Super Earth.
Gamers around the world are taking joint responsibility for protecting our home planet, and the Chinese Embassy believes this is worth highlighting.
A move that could open the door to the lucrative Chinese gaming market.
"You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the Illuminate, not join them!"
That's pretty impressive and shows that the game is alive and well as a live service.
CEO Shams Jorjani: "The next game is 100% funded by ourselves so we'll call 100% of those shots."
All Helldivers to the Hell pods!
Arrowhead director has spoken out about the problems the title brought.
We're bringing Borderline Justice to the enemies of Super Earth.
But it turned out one player was just sat around doing nothing all the time.
New patch inbound.
Johan Pilestedt: "11 years of working "around the clock" on the same IP has made me set aside family, friends and my lovely wife... and myself."
Shams Jorjani shares his bold vision for the Helldivers II movie.
It'll be called Starship Troop...No, get away from me! For Super Earth!
Johan Pilestedt also adds that developers should focus on making great games rather than "make a contemporary political statement."
Even with Concord flopping, because Helldivers II did well, Sony isn't giving up on live service yet.
The first major crossover between franchises comes to Arrowhead Games' shooter.
The Omens of Tyranny update is out now for PC and PS5.
With Sony Interactive Entertainment and Senua's Saga: Hellblade II also being big winners.
PlayStation and Arrowhead won big at the Golden Joystick Awards last night, so the Swedish developers celebrated by revealing some great news.
But, if you want to dream of potential crossovers, he has given us a list.
The community manager explains that it's up "Sony and Phil to duke it out", which unfortunately means the odds are not favourable.
New armour sets, capes, strategems and weapons are on their way.
It's all part of the 60-day plan to make the game a better place.
"What matters most now is action. Not talk."
The fight for democracy will be reignited in August.
Its daily player count dropped by 97% from its peak on PC, and the trend looks generally concerning.
The popular title is haemorrhaging players required for the fight for democracy.
"Good game design is evoking emotion more than anything."
Arrowhead Game Studios' CEO shut down any hopes of such with a very reasonable explanation.
Fighting for democracy only to get kicked out of the lobby by some idiot for no reason and lose your samples and experience, but Arrowhead is going to put an end to that.
Arrowhead Game Studios CEO: "Almost all games have a bit of toxicity in the community, but with these big numbers you just get so many".
The former CEO of the studio will continue as creative director of Helldivers II.
