Helldivers 2's dynamic warfront is being conducted almost exclusively by a single D&D-style game master named Joel, but the co-op shooter's explosive launch has gotten so big that Joel needed "emergency" reinforcements of his own within developer Arrowhead Game Studios.
Arrowhead community manager Baskinator shed some light on Joel's position in a recent Discord exchange. On March 1, one player reasoned that the GM's job "sounds incredibly daunting when you have to juggle the expectations set by the roadmap/dev studio vs what the 500K+ active players want and do," expressing hopes that Joel "gets at least a handful of other employees to manage it actively when the war spreads to the other sectors."
