The everlasting console wars have been more extreme than ever in recent times, and due credit can be given to the exclusive release of Arrowhead Studio’s Helldivers 2 on PS5 and PC. While Xbox might have its own fair share of excellent first-party games, it unfortunately fails to come close to the hype Sony has built around their title.
This has also prompted the community to urge Sony to release the game on Microsoft’s platform. While the chances of it happening remain slim to none, recent changes in the company’s leadership as well as floating rumors might have finally brought good news for the fans.
PlayStation’s New CEO To Bring Helldivers 2 To Xbox
It is important to note that everything remains a rumor for now and nothing is confirmed. As everybody knows, there has been a change in the leadership present following Jim Ryan stepping down from the position last year. Talking about how Sony might be in talks to finally bring Helldivers 2 to Xbox, Shpeshal Nick stated during a recent XboxEra Podcast–
“We know that PlayStation has a new CEO at the moment, and I think the new CEO might be more open to certain things. And what I’ve heard is that there may be some very, very early, preliminary discussions about the possiblity of Helldivers 2 coming to Xbox.”
For those who do not know, Nick is the co-founder of XboxEra, a popular gaming forum. He essentially stated during the aforementioned podcast how the leadership at the moment is possibly in early discussions about potentially bringing the much-demanded game to Microsoft’s platform, fulfilling the dreams of many.
Additionally, it is not only the players on Xbox that are missing out on all the fun, as PlayStation users are doomed to soon miss out on the experience Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 promises to deliver once it is released exclusively for PC and Microsoft’s console on 21st May.
Why Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2’s Exclusive Release Turns The Tables
Through the many insights fans have acquired on the title already, it is known how Hellblade 2 is going to be one of the most advanced titles to come out in modern times. Ninja Theory, the developing studio for the game does not only focus on the visual cues, but luckily has also paid attention to enhancing the audio experience of the game, using Binaural Tech in the process.
There are a lot of appealing factors to the coming game, and one of them is how the combat system was inspired from nowhere else but Game of Thrones, a popular TV series. It was revealed how the combat in Hellblade 2 has been referenced from the “Battle of Bastards” episode from the mentioned series, taking after Jon Snow’s sequence of tearing through his enemies one by one.
