HELLDIVERS 2 TEAM HIRING FOR GAME EXPANSION

Arrowhead Game Studios, known for their cooperative multiplayer gaming experiences, has announced they are hiring more staff to expand the content for their recent success, Helldivers 2, which is considered to be Sony's biggest Steam release so far. This comes as a direct response to the game's positive reception and larger-than-expected player base. Helldivers 2, available on PlayStation 5 and PC, tasks players with repelling alien forces from "Super Earth" through a variety of missions, which can range from data retrieval to destroying enemy nests. The game features a hub on a spaceship where players can upgrade their equipment and arsenal.

A new patch, 01.000.006, was recently released to make the game more stable and fix various crashes. Critics have commented on the game's lack of originality regarding missions and story depth but have praised its entertaining tone, spectacular gameplay, and the emphasis on tactical depth and team communication.

While the specific details of the new content have not been disclosed, the hiring suggests that players can look forward to additional missions, enhancements to gameplay, and possibly new equipment and upgrades to improve the overall gaming experience in Helldivers 2.

Helldivers 2 is a sequel to the original Helldivers game, a top-down shooter that gained popularity for its intense action and cooperative playstyle. The premise is set in a satirical dystopian future where players are part of an elite unit protecting humanity from extraterrestrial enemies. It builds upon the mechanics of the first game, applying improvements and offering new challenges for both returning veterans and newcomers to the series. The game's focus on cooperation and strategy in multiplayer mode has been one of its most praised features.
