Since its launch, the Helldivers 2 community has been very active on social media and other platforms. Besides being loyal players, these fans have also shown themselves to be overly curious in some aspects. Recently, Arrowhead Game Studios has fallen victim to several data mining attacks aimed at uncovering new information about the game.
In response, the studio stated that they will reward patience and that these attacks are meaningless, as the leaked material could be old, new, or even discarded. To avoid spoiling players’ surprises, this company will never confirm or deny anything.
The Lack of Content in Helldivers 2 Is Causing Impatience Among Players
Since its release in February this year, Helldivers 2 has achieved incredible sales numbers and popularity beyond the studio’s wildest dreams. This third-person action game is primarily team-oriented and has exceeded all expectations thanks to excellent social media management.
Unfortunately, its players are starting to constantly complain about the lack of new content, and the studio is trying to calm its fans.
In recent weeks, players have been very vocal on social media about the lack of continuity they are finding in this game. Several data mining attacks against the studio have resulted in the leakage of various items, including concept art of creatures that may or may not feature in the game.
The studio responds to these attacks by stating that they remain unaffected and will not disclose any confidential information.
A Community That Should Be More Patient
In the official Discord channel of the game, one of the community managers took advantage of these data mining attacks to give a specific message. The community managers commented that the studio will never confirm or deny any leaked content, as it could potentially spoil the surprise for players. They also mentioned the possibility of leaked content being old, discarded, or never used. Therefore, it’s easier not to comment on these matters.
This community manager continued the statement by advising that it would be better for players to just wait patiently rather than insist on these types of things. It seems that the community expects something from this title that the studio is not prepared to offer, which is a constant flow of content similar to titles like Fortnite or Call of Duty. However, clearly, the company does not have the scale to meet such demands.
For months, the game’s community has been requesting some new changes that would completely shift the current dynamics. Most Helldivers 2 players want to see what a new enemy would look like in this battle to spread democracy throughout the galaxy. Arrowhead Game Studios prefers a slow and much more measured development approach, aligning with the studio’s resources to release content.
