Put together for Hell Dive

Helldivers, it’s time for one more drop. Arrowhead Sport Studios has introduced that Helldivers 2 will drop onto new planets, with a brand new perspective, in 2023.

Revealed throughout at the moment’s PlayStation Showcase, Helldivers 2 nonetheless seems to be to function a lot of the Starship Troopers-esque gunning and bug combating. This time, although, the motion is swapping to an over-the-shoulder shooter, quite than the unique’s top-down perspective.

In a put up on the PlayStation Weblog, Arrowhead’s Katherine Baskin confirms lots of the identical gameplay options will return: customizable loadouts, stratagems, and naturally, pleasant fireplace.

Co-op can also be nonetheless a spotlight, as groups must strategize and full targets collectively. So though it seems to be just like the digicam’s headed in a brand new path, the objective continues to be the identical team-driven, bug-blasting motion.
“Brace yourselves for adrenaline-fueled moments, intense motion, and a bond that types whenever you depend on your staff to finish missions or comically fail because of the reckless dealing with of over-the-top firepower,” stated Arrowhead Sport Studios CEO and sport director Johan Pilestedt. “Most significantly, we hope that the laughter we share within the studio whereas enjoying the sport will resonate with you as you get pleasure from this loopy universe.”

Whereas the change is perspective is perhaps odd, I put a number of hours into the unique Helldivers. If they will preserve the identical high quality of co-op into this new strategy, I may very well be talked into some extra hell dives. Helldivers 2 is at the moment deliberate for PlayStation 5 and PC.
