After laying out the dream Helldivers 2 crossovers he thinks about within the bathe, CCO Pilestedt says you may should “see what occurs” in relation to large PVE battles

Now, earlier than we get into his picks, it is essential to stress that the developer was clear that “these are simply musings”, and that he reckons trying all of them “would dilute the IP and make it a ‘not Helldivers’ expertise”.

In the event that they may very well be organised, it looks as if the dev agrees with one fan’s suggestion that Warbonds that are simply homages to those IPs may very well be a pleasant “center floor” choice for such issues, to keep away from that potential dilution he talked about.

In an identical ballpark of issues which may presumably be added to Helldivers 2 in some unspecified time in the future down the road, Pilestedt additionally answered one participant’s question as as to if Arrowhead’s thought of including “large PVE battles” involving “one thing like 20-30 Gamers” all in the identical huge firefight. “Yeah – it comes up fairly usually on the studio,” the dev stated, “However there are engine limitations. We’ll see what occurs.”
