Overview
Helldivers 2 is an upcoming video game. It is the sequel to the 2015 video game Helldivers. Unlike the first game, which was a top-down shooter, Helldivers 2 is a third-person shooter. It is scheduled to be released on February 8, 2024 for PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Windows.
Gameplay
Unlike the first game, which was a top-down shooter, Helldivers 2 is a third-person shooter. Similar to the first game, players are able to select Strategems, which are air drops players can call, which include cluster bombs, sentry guns, shield generators or supply pods containing limited-use special weaponry. Friendly fire is also always on. The game's armor system is inspired by real firearms fired against armored targets. The game also features multiplayer with up to four players, in which they're able to "explore unique planets and complete objectives together, and upgrade your equipment through the deep progression system of Helldivers 2."
Development
On December 3, 2020, Arrowhead Game Studios revealed that they were working on a new project expected to be released on PlayStation 5. It was also confirmed that the game would be a third-person shooter. CEO and game director, Johan Pilestedt said, "We are incredibly excited to create a new, next-gen, co-op experience for our fans and community. We are looking for talented developers to join us on this journey and are looking forward to sharing more details about the project at a later date."
