Arrowhead's Game Master Joel – who also identifies as the studio's telekinetic superhuman J.O.E.L. – has a reputation for sadism, but he astonishingly reveals a soft side in a new video celebrating Helldivers 2's one year anniversary. Apparently, the warlord's "personal favorite" community moment is when Helldivers players helped raise money for real-world children in need.
"I am Super Earth's high command," Joel says in the latest episode of Chronicles of J.O.E.L., a community-oriented video series Arrowhead has been releasing to celebrate Helldivers 2's first birthday. "I am the Terminid Swarm, I am the socialist Automatons," and clearly a proponent of accessible healthcare.
