Despite the best efforts from Arrowhead Game Studios, Helldivers 2 is losing its player base at an alarming rate. When the game was initially released, it was one of the most popular games in the world, but over the past few months, many have complained that the game has become dull.
With so many new games releasing this year, particularly Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, fans believe that Helldivers 2 will struggle to keep up. It seems like players just can’t wait to uninstall the game as soon as a worthy third-person shooter hits the market.
Players Can’t Wait To Uninstall Helldivers 2
As players gear up for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, many have compared the third-person shooter hack-n-slash video game to Arrowhead Game Studios‘ Helldivers 2. Judging by the comments on a discussion page on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2‘s General Discussions page, it’s safe to say that players just can’t wait to delete Helldivers 2.
Space Marine 2 will serve as a sequel to 2011’s Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. The game was first announced in 2021 with a cinematic trailer at The Game Awards 2021. The game was originally scheduled to release in 2023 but was pushed to September 2024.
In terms of popularity, the Warhammer franchise is indeed much bigger than the Helldivers franchise, so Arrowhead definitely needs to take some steps to make sure Helldivers 2 keeps up with the competition.
Helldivers 2’s Latest Update Disappointed The Fans
The latest major update for Helldivers 2, Escalation of Freedom, featured many new enemies, weapons, and environments, but many players found it disappointing. The expectations were high, particularly because Arrowhead created a lot of hype about the update.
The game is now losing players at an alarming rate, in fact, many players have already left the game, making it difficult for others to complete the major orders. Disappointed by Arrowhead’s decisions, the remaining players even allowed Automatons to invade Super Earth.
The new content is indeed exciting, but various nerfs have made the game frustrating and annoying. Many players gave the update a chance, hoping to see the introduction of the game’s third rumored faction, the Illuminate, but once again, players were left disappointed.
Helldivers 2 fans are trying their best to convince Warhammer fans to join their fight for democracy but it seems like fans are clear about what they want. Not just Space Marine 2, there are many upcoming games that are capable of wiping out Helldivers 2‘s fanbase and if Arrowhead wishes to avoid that, they need to start taking players’ feedback seriously.
