Helldivers 2 has been massive for Arrowhead Game Studios, and the team working on it has only continued to expand, with the current crew being over six times the size of the group that worked on the third-person shooter at the start.

In a talk at GDC, senior materials artist Romain Lemaire gives a brief timeline of the expansion of the dev team since work on the sequel began in 2016. "There were 20 people at the beginning of the project, and it [went] to 105 at release in February 2024," he explains. "Now we are currently approximately 130 people."
