“We know gamers have been asking for this for some time and we are so excited to bring more Helldivers into our game. We have so much more in store for the future months and years – and the more players we have the more stories we can tell! The fight for Super Earth has only just begun.”
In our review of Helldivers 2, our critic said, “Helldivers 2 is an easy game to recommend. It’s fun solo, even better in multiplayer, and feels worth it at its price point. The gunplay is fantastic, the gameplay loop is satisfying, and the reward progression is consistent.
The game’s live service plans are its biggest question moving forward, but right now, Helldivers 2 is a ton of fun. It really captures the old-school couch co-op madness that I felt with the original back in Korea, and I’m excited to keep bringing democracy to the galaxy.”
What is Helldivers 2?
Helldivers 2 is a third-person, cooperative feast of destruction. You and up to three squadmates step into the boots of elite soldiers. Your mission? To spread peace, liberty, and Managed Democracy using the galaxy’s biggest, baddest, and most explosive tools.
Helldivers 2 on Xbox Brings Players This:
Once you enlist, you become boots on the ground in the Galactic War. This real-time metagame demands players work together to complete operations, liberate planets, and spread Managed Democracy to the furthest reaches of the galaxy.
Since 2184, the Helldivers, Super Earth’s peacekeeping force, have valiantly fought against formidable enemies:
- Terminids: A scourge of insect-like aliens driven by reproduction and overwhelming numbers.
