Unfortunately, Helldivers 2‘s numbers have not been what the studio expected and have dropped significantly in recent days. Launched a little over 5 months ago, the game peaked at over 400,000 concurrent players, at least on Steam.

The development team is trying to replicate this with new content. These new missions could include a variety of elements for players to rediscover this fun title while spreading democracy.

Rumors indicate that there will be a sort of rescue mission for a VIP official, which could be entirely different. Additionally, there will be new enemies in the first game of the franchise, as well as other much more lethal variations than we have seen recently.

All this new content will arrive on August 6th, and as seen in the video, Arrowhead Game Studios truly wants all players to return to Helldivers 2 to try out the new features.

The receptions on social media have been very positive from players who have been waiting for this type of content for quite some time. This game took everyone by surprise by becoming one of the most popular of the year just days after its release.

I'm a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
