Helldivers 2 leans hard into Alien vibes as players fight to take back freaky Illuminatified cites

by

If you wondered why it worth making such a fuss to save Super Earth from the Illuminate in Helldivers 2 not too long ago, you might want to take a look at the game's latest Galactic War twist. A fresh major order has players embarking to cities that the squids have twisted in their image, and they're a sight to behold. Urban warfare's the thing in the shooter at the moment, with the divers having just resisted a big bug invasion of a bunch of cities. Now, they're dropping in to try and save innocent citizens that might already have been, uh, squidified. Read more

Helldivers 2's latest patch delivers a free cape and lets you rock the spotlight before getting zapped by a Leviathan

by

Helldivers 2 just got a fresh patch, and it's come with a free cape (not a review bomb cape, mind you) that folks who took part in the battle for Super Earth can wear to prove they played a part in the victory. Stick it on your back, and maybe think about showing it off in the glitzy glow of the spotlights the patch adds to Leviathans. Seriously, I promise doing that last bit won't precede the flying squid things immediately zapping you to death. Ok, maybe it will. Read more

Helldivers 2 CEO teases finally releasing long-awaited review bomb cape, as PlayStation rolls back region locking

by

PlayStation have finally come to their senses and rolled back a lot of the unpopular PC region locking that's been stopping folks in various parts of the world enjoying a bunch of games. It looks like one of those titles, Helldivers 2, could finally be getting a cape players have craved for a year or so as a result. Yep, Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani has teased deploying the review bomb-themed cape that first emerged as a meme following the backlash to PlayStation attempting to change the game's PSN account linking rules last year. We've known the cape was a real item the studio had made for a while now, but with the region locking still ongoing, Arrowhead have opted to keep it locked away for months on end. Read more

Helldivers 2, Spider-Man 2, and more PlayStation titles have been freed from their region lock prison on PC

by

Sony have been making a lot of mistakes over the past couple of years, including things like mistakenly thinking they could release 12 live service games by 2026, but the more immediately annoying one is its whole PSN thing. I probably don't need to remind you of that whole Helldivers 2 fiasco, where they tried to make logging into a PSN a requirement for those on PC and later scrapped this because it went down horrendously. However, there has been one other snag that came with all this PSN nonsense: region locking. Read more

Helldivers 2 and other Sony hits get over 100 Steam region restrictions lifted

by editor@pcgamesn.com

Sony is finally removing its Steam region locks for several Playstation PC ports. These restrictions on dozens of countries and territories proved seriously controversial when they were applied to Helldivers 2 after it launched last year, and they affected several other PC ports for the likes of The Last of Us Part 2 and God of War Ragnarok. But now, those region restrictions are quietly disappearing from Steam, perhaps as a consequence of Stellar Blade's recent success on the platform. Read the rest of the story...

Same-date PC ports of PS5 games remain unlikely, as Sony talk up "thoughtful" multiplatform approach despite Xbox comparisons

by

PlayStation's bigwigs are content to stick with their current approach to multiplatform releases for now, making it unlikely we're going to see a sudden switch to day-and-date PC ports of Sony's big single-player games anytime soon. SlayPtation have been bringing their studios' multiplayer and live-service games to PC at release for a while now, it making sense with the likes of Helldivers 2 and, er, Concord, to try and ensure the maximum potential player base possible right out of the gate. On the other hand, for single player stuff like God of War Ragnarok and Ghost of Tsushima they've been content to wait a year to bring over to the other video game boxes. Read more

by editor@pcgamesn.com

Now that The Illuminate has been pushed back from Super Earth, we've got a bigger problem. The Terminids are suddenly coming for Helldivers 2's home of democracy, but luckily for us, Arrowhead has just massively upgraded the game's stealth detection system to help us out.

Use the full Force of Law in the streets on June 12!

by The Baskinator

When it comes to Super Earth, you are the law–the final word on freedom and Managed Democracy in our streets. You are the keeper of the peace and the deliverer of justice, but you need to step up your gear before you go out on patrol. That’s why the Ministry of Defense has approved the release of the Force of Law Premium Warbond1 on June 12!First, let’s talk gear. The AR-32 Pacifier, a large capacity assault rifle, is the last word in defense against enemies roaming the colonies. Combine it with the new G-109 Urchin stun grenade, which attaches to the perp and dispenses electrical pulses until they’re incapacitated, and you can handle any size squid assembly.But hold on–you’re still going to need some backup, diver. We can’t think of a better companion than the AX/ARC-3 “Guard Dog” K-9. Loyal to its core, the arc-powered K-9 will get between you and any threat to your authority. Just be wary of the occasional (accidental) friendly bite.We’re also including access to the GL-52 De-Escala...

Helldivers 2's battle for Super Earth makes Chinese news following the successful and slightly review bomby defense of Equality-On-Sea

by

The battle for Super Earth that kicked off with Helldivers 2's Heart of Democracy update concluded last week, with players managing to fend off an Illuminate invasion of their home planet. One of the two cities that ended up holding out against the hostile squids was Equality-On-Sea, located in the in-game map's version of China, and it's led the shooter to make a local news report in the country.
