Helldivers 2's game director speaks on a frantic first year and the future of the Galactic War
Briefly

Helldivers 2 has completed its first year since launch on February 8, 2024, with Arrowhead Game Studios focusing on player engagement and game quality amidst unforeseen challenges. The game saw explosive initial success, leading to a much larger player base than anticipated, which required significant adjustments in development priorities. Production focused heavily on addressing bugs and maintaining game stability. The addition of new content and improvements throughout the year has set a more optimistic tone for the franchise's future.
'The launch success, the sheer magnitude of players, and the Sauron's Eye of the world shifting to look at us was beyond anything that we had anticipated.'
'It took us quite a long time after launch to get to a point where we were in control of the situation. The first three to six months were not at all as we had expected.'
