The wave of negative reception surrounding recentHelldivers 2news has been a shock to many gamers because of just how popularHelldivers 2has become in such a short time. Releasing in February 2024,Helldivers 2is now Sony’s 7th highest grossing game of all time.
Sony has since backpedaled on account-linking inHelldivers 2after controversy from the game’s fan base drew too much negative attention to make the decision worth implementing.

Consumers rejoiced over this decision, excited to have their voices heard when it comes to their favorite games.
Johan Pilestedt askedHelldivers 2players when the Polar Patriots Warbond should be released and included a poll to count the results. Pilestedt explains that the team at Arrowhead does not want to release the Warbond in a tone-deaf manner following the influx of outrage from theHelldivers 2PSN account linking controversy. Pilestedt offers two options, either releasing the Warbond on June 04, 2025, or delaying the release for some time.
Helldivers 2 Players Vote on Warbond Release Timing
In response to Pilestedt’s question, many gamers have opted for the decision to release. Six hours ahead of the poll’s closing, 73.9% of the 136,622 votes cast voted in favor of the May 9 release. Some fans have voiced that their request for a sooner Warbond release comes with the request to ensure the newHelldivers 2weapon balancingis not too intense.
With the recentHelldivers 2news causing Arrowhead Game Studios to place a stronger emphasis on player voices in their upcoming decisions, fans hope they will be heard on this matter. Many players are excited about the opportunity to spend their credits and see the new changes, but they want the fun to last. Considering the bevy ofnew weapons coming in theHelldivers 2Polar Patriots Warbond, it makes sense that players want the weapons they end up enjoying the most to remain as powerful as they were when they got them. Much like the game itself, gamers do not want to pay for something that ends up changing drastically in the future.
