The director on Helldivers 2 has revealed during an interview with GamesRadar that developer Arrowhead Game Studios is feeling a lot more confident than at launch, and is hoping that its release schedule going forward will be a bit more accurate.
We do feel a lot more confident than when we launched the game. I don’t think it’s a secret that we were not prepared for this, for the amount of attention and success.
So it’s definitely true that internally, some of the processes were not working as well as they should be working. We lacked some key people in some places, just because it’s a big beast to control when you have this massive of a hit. In that period after launch, we did make some mistakes, just because of this chaotic nature.

But we’ve managed to go a long way now into controlling this beast, and we have way better processes set up to make sure that we test things before we release and so forth. I think our release accuracy has gotten way, way better. That doesn’t mean that it’ll all be perfect from here on out, however – devs are human, after all.
With that said. I do think that when you’re in our position, and when we’re trying to build the game with the community – sometimes we will fail even though we’re doing our best. And I say fail, but let’s say we don’t exactly get the results that we want. But then we have our players that can tell us what they want and what they like and don’t like.” Fans are what’s most important to Arrowhead.
That means the world to us, because those are the people we’re making the game for. We can use that information to get to where we need to be quickly. And it’s so helpful for us. So hopefully it will be less of a bumpy road when it comes to release accuracy, but we’re still prepared to take risks, to deliver on everything that the players want, and hopefully, there will be a smooth ride going forward.
Helldivers 2 was released for PS5 and PC in February 2024, and received its latest free update, Omens of Tyranny, last week.
