The former NPD Group (now named “Circana”) has released its full North American sales data for February, and it seems like it was a pretty solid month for the industry. Players spent $4.7 billion on games, additional content, and hardware in February, up 2 percent year-on-year. Hardware was a weak spot, down 30 percent year-on-year, with PS5 #1 in terms of unit and dollar sales, Switch #2 in terms of unit sales, and Xbox Series X/S #2 in terms of dollar sales. On the software front, the big story was the surprise success of Helldivers 2, which was the #1 […]
Helldivers 2 is one of the biggest (and best) games of 2024 so far so it shouldn’t surprise you that PlayStation is looking to capitalize on the sci-fi co-op shooter’s success with some new spiffy merchandise, including a mug that I might just add to m...
Let’s just pause and take stock of how much has happened in everyone’s favorite new co-op shooter, Helldivers 2, since it launched a month ago: the first players dropped in to find a bug-infested galaxy, quickly found there were also killer robots on t...
Helldivers 2 has a bug problem. No, not that one, but a literal bug problem. The Terminids, a species of huge, homicidal bugs, have plagued the game since the very beginning. They’re the first enemies in Super Earth’s ongoing galactic war, and players ...
Arrowhead Games’ massively successful co-op shooter, Helldivers 2, is different than a lot of other games out there right now, challenging players with tough enemies and hard missions. However, one element of Helldivers 2 has drawn a lot of discussion:...
The success of Helldivers 2 continues unabated. Even yesterday, the third-person cooperative sci-fi shooter game nearly reached its historical peak of 450K concurrent online users on Steam. The user reception on Valve's store has meaningfully improved compared to launch, too, leaping from the original 67% 'Mixed' review rating to the current 81% 'Very Positive' review rating. Moreover, the game is selling great even on other channels and platforms, like retail and PlayStation 5. According to GamesIndustry.biz's Christopher Dring, the game has seen three consecutive weeks of growth (a 115% improvement in week two and another 21% in week three) after […]

The most fascinating thing about Helldivers 2’s ongoing story is how effectively its momentum and beats are used to not just make the player base feel immersed in an ongoing, evolving conflict, but to mobilize them in specific directions. We know that ...
Good news, soldiers of democracy: Helldivers 2 is getting new guns and gear to help you fight the robot menace. You’ll have to earn these new toys (and pay for a new premium battle pass), but these upcoming electric- and laser-based weapons should help...
Today, Arrowhead announced a new Warbond called Cutting Edge, which is coming on Thursday, March 14 to Helldivers 2. A Warbond is effectively the game's version of a Battle Pass, in case you didn't know. Players will find three new armor prototypes and several new weapons, as detailed below: EX-03 Prototype 3 Includes a rubber underlayer for insulation. Handy, really, as this prototype’s wires operate at a shocking 400,000 volts. EX-16 Prototype 16 Warning: Electric arc generates a strong magnetic field. Avoid use while near stapled paperwork. EX-00 Prototype X The end result of several billion Super Credits and 12 […]
Helldivers 2 has only been out for about a month and has already evolved so much. At first, players were only laying waste to bugs, but now there are also killer robots to fight on the other side of the galaxy. Planets have been liberated, while others...
