Helldivers 2 appears to be finding its stride after a launch that I hesitate to describe as a rocky one, only because it was more of a rollercoaster—incredible popularity in its opening months that tanked servers for weeks, a huge, stonking controversy that saw it glassed with a review bombing, and what overall seems like a wild scramble to meet the demands of its sudden spotlight.
The solution, sensibly, involves slower but more comprehensive updates, such as The Escalation of Freedom, which is coming next week. It seems like Arrowhead's strung its bow on making sure the next few updates add to the game's core systems, too, as outright stated by the company's fairly-fresh CEO asking Reddit for help.
