HELLDIVERS™ 2 News

Helldivers 2's latest Major Order is a simple one in theory - destroy the Terminid Supercolony on Meridia, using that experimetal Dark Fluid that may or may not end up attracting the attention of the Illuminate. However, in practice, thing are proving a lot tougher than that, thanks to some bug spawning issues that Arrowhead thankfully looks to already be aware of.

While a fix for this stuff seems like it'll drop relatively soon, it's sad to see the game's community riled up again so soon, given the recent changes from the studio behind it that've seemed to recapture a bit of the player trust that'd been wavering thanks to some controversial patches and the whole PSN linking thing.

So, what's happening to folks who dropping onto Meridia to try and aid in the destruction of that bug nest? Well, they're encountering enough bugs to make their task incredibly difficult - with a number arguing things go past the point of it just being a skill issue or something done on purpose.

In case you missed yesterday's PlayStation State of Play, one of the big announcements was God of War Ragnarok's PC port, which is set to arrive on September 19. So, here's a thing people had been anticipating for a while.

It'll come, as these kinds of PC ports often do, with all of the DLC for the game and some extra performance options. Though, it'll require PC players to create a PSN account to pair with their Steam one - and here's why that's annoyed a lot of folks.

First of all, the fact that Ragnarok on PC will require a PlayStation Network account has been confirmed via the blog post about the game's PC announcement, reinforcing what a statement flicked up during the State of Play broadcast itself seemed to suggest. The Steam page for it, meanwhile, features a prominently displayed text box that reads: "PlayStation Network Account required, subject to the PlayStation Terms of Services and User Agreement."

The new CEO at Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has wasted no time introducing himself to the game's community - heading over to Reddit to drop a bit of an essay. Naturally, some players have fairly taken this as an oppportunity to ask for his input on some of the current hot topics surrounding the game - one of these being the matter of transparency when it comes to the hard numbers behind gear.

If you missed it, Arrowhead's recently been busy faciliating a CEO switch from Johan Pilestedt to Shams Jorjani, with the aim of letting the former focus more heavily on helping develop Helldivers 2. And, as players wait to see whether the latest developments in the Galactic War are - as is being speculated - paving the way for the Illuminate to finally arrive, Jorjani's decided to say hello to them.

In a pretty lengthy post on the Helldivers subreddit, Jorjani provided a lot of background on himself and his friendship with Pilestedt and emphasised that "the ship will stay on the same course, despite the change in captain", with its former Jack Sparrow taking on the role of "being the Obi-wan to many 'Lukes' in our studio". Basically, Pilestedt'll be helping advise and consult with the developers as they enact tweaks or create new stuff.
