'Helldivers II' Goes Gold

by Rainier on Jan. 19, 2024 @ 9:46 a.m. PST

Helldivers II is a cooperative shooter that packs in frantic, third-person action against massive enemy mobs.

Freedom. Peace. Managed Democracy. Your Super Earth-born rights. The key pillars of our civilization. These are under attack from deadly alien civilizations, conspiring to destroy the Super Earth and its values.

You’ll step into the boots of an elite class of soldiers whose mission is to spread peace, liberty, and Managed Democracy using the biggest, baddest, and most explosive tools in the galaxy. Team up with up to four friends and wreak havoc on the alien scourge that threatens the safety of your home, Super Earth.

The Helldivers must take on the role of galactic peacekeepers in this Galactic War and protect their home planet, spread the message of Democracy, and liberate the hostiles by force.

We don’t send our Helldivers planet side without proper back up, but it’s up to you to decide how and when to call it in. Not only will you have a host of superpowered primary weapons and customizable loadouts, you also have the ability to call on stratagems during play.

In the heat of the battle and your squad needs to take out a massive onslaught of Terminids in one go? You can have an Eagle drop a 500KG bomb,leaving behind only liberated bug corpses. Need to lay down a defensive perimeter? You can call for the Anti-Personnel Mine Deployer to layer the battlefield with deadly mines.

Helldivers, report to the pod bays and prepare for your first dive—Helldivers II has gone gold!

We’re back to talk about the eagerly awaited launch of Helldivers II on PS5 and PC! Team up with your friends using crossplay and spread some Freedom and Managed Democracy. Prepare for some edge-of-your-seat, action-packed mayhem as you take down some of the galaxy's most formidable foes.

As the Galactic War rages on, you will face down the relentless Terminid scourge and the heartless Automaton regime with the help of the most powerful weapons in Super Earth’s arsenal. Build your loadouts, choose your mission, and dive into the fray. Work as a team with up to three friends and spread Managed Democracy by any means necessary. But remember, in Helldivers II, friendly fire is always on! This means you’ll not only be dodging bugs and bots, but stray bullets from your fellow Helldivers.

Make sure you sign up today to join the first wave! We are gearing up our Super Citizens who enlist early with the best gear Super Earth Credits can buy.

Players can decide how to take down each enemy surge using a multitude of offensive and defensive tools. As you complete missions, you’ll be able to upgrade your ship and build an even more impressive arsenal. Everything from shield generators to turrets to large-scale airstrikes can be used to give your team the upper hand.

They say everything is better with friends. Especially when it comes to raining destruction down on the enemies of Liberty. True to our co-op roots at Arrowhead, we’ve made sure Helldivers 2has our best cooperative gameplay yet. Collaboration will be vital: teams will synergize on loadouts, strategize their approach for each mission, and complete objectives together.

But for maximum challenge and collaboration, friendly fire is always on. Communicate with your squad mates and make sure those stray bullets and mines take down the real adversaries. Remember that you will return home celebrated as heroes, whether you’re dead or alive.
