\nThose of you hoping for Helldivers 2<\/a> to get a dedicated story mode are out of luck, as Arrowhead<\/a> has absolutely zero plans for one.\n<\/p>\n

\nHelldivers 2 is obviously one of 2024’s biggest games, in part because it’s just good fun, but also because of the way its story has evolved over the past few months. It’s a story that could only be told in a live-service game, because of the collaborative nature of its various tasks and missions. That hasn’t stopped some players wanting a dedicated story mode, though, with one player even asking Arrowhead’s brand new CEO Shams Jorjani if such a thing could be created to play with friends. Jorjani had a quite blunt but understandable response: “Not happening. Sorry bro. That’s like building an entirely new game.”\n<\/p>\n

\nI can’t blame Jorjani for such a response, having to create entire missions with their own unique narratives, on top of maintaining a live-service game, is a tough task for any team, but especially so for a studio like Arrowhead, which really didn’t expect the game to blow up as much as it has. Besides, the whole appeal of the game is really the stories you get to tell your friends when you kill a bug in a cool way.\n<\/p>\n
