Such great popularity of the game, which became an unexpected hit for Sony itself, led to problems with accessibility – the game servers are trivial can’t withstand the load and cannot yet accept everyone, so many players are still plagued by connection problems. Now developers from the Arrowhead studio are actively working to increase the number of servers.
The game Helldivers 2 about space stormtroopers (elite Hell Marines) and alien cockroaches (Terminid beetles) and bloodthirsty robots Automatons is undoubtedly one of the most notable releases of 2024, which has just begun.
