Over the weekend, intrepid Helldivers accomplished what perhaps once seemed unimaginable: eradicating all bots in Helldivers 2. Combined with the news that all those Terminind bugs are now “contained”, to use developer Arrowhead’s words, the feeling among players is one of celebration. Right? We beat Helldivers 2?
Indeed, in a post on social media platform X, the Helldivers 2 team proclaimed the “galaxy is free once more”, which surely means we can all breathe a sweet sigh of relief. I am sure Game Master Joel has nothing left up his sleeve. Soon, we shall be met with a cutscene showing Super Earth now thriving thanks to our hard efforts, and Helldivers 2’s servers will be shut down.
Nope, I don’t believe that for a second either! And neither do players – who are now trying to work out what could be next.
