Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Sport Studios are cooking. I am not precisely positive what simply but, however there is a faint aroma of a brand new sport within the air, and it does not appear to be they are in a position to proportion anything else in regards to the sport at this time both. Nonetheless, after the runaway good fortune of Helldivers 2, one thing new from the studio continues to be a thrilling prospect. Apparently sufficient although, no matter they are making, it would possibly not have anything else to do with PlayStation with regards to investment.
Arrowhead’s CEO Shams Jorjani just lately shared on Helldivers 2’s legitimate Discord (cheers, Forbes) that, because of the multiplayer sport’s good fortune, their subsequent sport might be absolutely self-funded. “The fantastic factor is that because of the superb give a boost to of you FINE other folks Arrowhead’s long run is moderately brilliant and now we have the liberty to discover some actually cool ideas that we could not have in a different way. Sport 6 (our subsequent venture) will occur the way in which it’s going to occur because of you,” wrote Jorjani.
After one member of the server requested for no matter mentioned subsequent sport is to be to be had in all areas, Jorjani defined that “the following sport is 100% funded through ourselves so we will name 100% of the ones photographs.” For some context, PlayStation attempted to make it in order that you wanted a PSN account to play Helldivers 2 on PC final yr, however that went down so badly they dropped the requirement. Alternatively, that did result in the sport being pulled from sale in plenty of international locations the place PSN is not to be had, probably why the remark was once made through mentioned Discord member.
To be transparent although, it does not sound like Arrowhead’s courting with PlayStation has long past bitter, as Jorjani mentioned that the corporate is “nice” and that “there could be no Helldivers if it wasn’t for them. We are open to running with them once more one day. They’re extremely sport/dev orientated. Forged companions. And that is me simply pronouncing it find it irresistible is. Now not blowing smoke up their asses.”
I am positive no matter Arrowhead make subsequent might be on PlayStation both method, however that does not actually topic to us right here does it? For my part, it is simply great to understand they are going to be capable of do issues their very own method, and no longer lock out an enormous choice of other folks from taking part in a sport for this sort of ridiculously arbitrary explanation why.
