In a statement, it was declared that Arrowhead Game Studios-the publisher and developer of the recently launched Helldivers 2-is preparing for a bright future. Surefire evidence of how well the game has been doing, along with proof that this studio actually cares about its user base, is that it has announced plans to expand after the successful launch of this studio.
Helldivers 2 saw significantly more players than its predecessor and reached a peak concurrent Steam player count well over 200,000. What really makes that impressive, though, is that the game came from a somewhat small team of only 100 people.
Johan Pilestedt, the CEO of the company, announced on his Twitter feed that they are hiring more developers to help them beef up and put more acceleration into their plans regarding content. That alone will prove the studio is serious in making the game better and delivering quality to gamers worldwide.
After release, Helldivers 2 had some hiccups, mainly in the server department. The team at Arrowhead went out of their way to rectify said problems, releasing several patches that aimed to solve the bigger connectivity and stability issues. Their community has taken notice of this, and thus solidified the studio as one that listens and truly cares.
Not to be outdone, the studio’s history is equally impressive. The first game, Magicka, was a stormer when gamers formed Arrowhead Game Studios back in 2008. Since its creation, the company has released several other popular titles, such as Gauntlet, The Showdown Effect, and most noticeably for this topic, the first Helldivers. This studio has demonstrated an ability to innovate and entertain gamers time and again through each release.
With the continuously growing success of the title and the community, one can clearly see that Arrowhead Game Studios is committed to supporting Helldivers 2. Foreseen team growth is a great omen of what is to come. The community will hope for new content, improvements, and possibly even new titles from this talented studio once they have more people and resources.
In all, the success of Helldivers 2 is at hand, and so is that of Arrowhead Game Studios. The proposed expansion will just go to prove its success and the evident devotion of the studio to its players. Whether one is a fan of Helldivers 2 or an avid gamer in general, definitely Arrowhead Game Studios is one of the names to look out for in the gaming business.
