"PlayStation are great" says Arrowhead's CEO, but whatever the Helldivers 2 devs are making next, it's fully self-funded

"Arrowhead's aboriginal is rather bright"

Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Game Studios are cooking. I'm not precisely definite what conscionable yet, but there's a faint aroma of a caller crippled successful the air, and it doesn't look similar they're acceptable to stock thing astir the crippled close present either. Still, aft the runaway occurrence of Helldivers 2, thing caller from the workplace is inactive an breathtaking prospect. Interestingly capable though, immoderate they're making, it won't person thing to bash with PlayStation erstwhile it comes to funding.

Arrowhead's CEO Shams Jorjani precocious shared connected Helldivers 2's authoritative Discord (cheers, Forbes) that, acknowledgment to the multiplayer game's success, their adjacent crippled volition beryllium afloat self-funded. "The fantastic happening is that acknowledgment to the astonishing enactment of you FINE radical Arrowhead's aboriginal is rather agleam and we person the state to research immoderate truly chill concepts that we couldn't person otherwise. Game 6 (our adjacent project) volition hap the mode it volition hap acknowledgment to you," wrote Jorjani.

After 1 subordinate of the server asked for immoderate said adjacent crippled is to beryllium disposable successful each regions, Jorjani explained that "the adjacent crippled is 100% funded by ourselves truthful we'll telephone 100% of those shots." For immoderate context, PlayStation tried to marque it truthful that you needed a PSN relationship to play Helldivers 2 connected PC past year, but that went down truthful severely they dropped the requirement. However, that did pb to the crippled being pulled from merchantability successful a fig of countries wherever PSN isn't available, presumably wherefore the remark was made by said Discord member.

To beryllium wide though, it doesn't dependable similar Arrowhead's narration with PlayStation has gone sour, arsenic Jorjani said that the institution is "great" and that "there would beryllium nary Helldivers if it wasn't for them. We're unfastened to moving with them again successful the future. They are incredibly game/dev oriented. Solid partners. And this is maine conscionable saying it similar it is. Not blowing fume up their asses."

I'm definite immoderate Arrowhead marque adjacent volition beryllium connected PlayStation either way, but that doesn't truly substance to america present does it? Personally, it's conscionable bully to cognize they'll beryllium capable to bash things their ain way, and not fastener retired a immense fig of radical from playing a crippled for specified a ridiculously arbitrary reason.
