This title has many players eager to see new content and weapons to fight for democracy. But a new rumor is spreading about a possible change in the ownership of these democracy fighters: Sony could acquire Arrowhead Game Studios soon. 

Xbox players could possibly never get a taste of democracy with this new rumor of the Helldivers 2 studio being acquired by Sony

The Helldivers 2 community is one of the best things that have happened lately on the internet. With an unusual sense of camaraderie, they are always ready to fight for democracy in new missions and even post memes and jokes about what it means to be a Helldiver.

This particular event is very odd in the current times, but it could keep growing to a certain level because no more players from other platforms will be joining the fight if the new rumor gets confirmed. Sony could be aiming to buy Arrowhead Game Studios, the creators of Helldivers 2.

According to a user on Neogaf, Sony is in talks to acquire Arrowhead Game Studios. This could be a very logical move from Sony; the studio has already generated millions in revenue with this new release, and the studio has a very good track record with games. 

At the moment, there is no official source confirming this, but this could be a good strategy, especially with the experience the studio has with multiplayer games. The last acquisition from Sony was last year, when Firewalk Studios joined PlayStation Studios.

Users on Neogaf were not shocked at all by this possibility; they even said that it was a logical move by Sony since they have been working together for more than 10 years with no problems whatsoever.

The more accurate person to confirm this rumor is Johan Pilestedt, the CEO of Arrowhead Game Studios, who is a pretty active person on social media, especially X. He has not commented on anything about this particular subject. 

The studio has much content planned for the game, and players are eager to see the new additions to fight for democracy. Helldivers 2 will have new vehicles and an incredibly powerful mecha. There is no specific date for these new additions.

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.
