After a very mixed reception to the latest Helldivers 2 update, the game's director is tackling the feedback with a 60-day plan to make things right, alongside a list of longer-term changes the studio intends to make in how it communicates with players.
"I want to directly address the feedback you've raised about the Escalation of Freedom update," game director Mikael E says in a message shared to players on social media, including Reddit. "We’ve spent the last week listening to feedback, reflecting about the path ahead for Helldivers 2 and how we want to continue developing the game. In short, we didn’t hit our target with the latest update. Some things we just didn’t get right - and other more fundamental inconsistencies in our approach to game balance and game direction. All of that is on us and we are going to own that. As many of you have pointed out, and we agree, what matters most now is action. Not talk."
