Helldivers 2 director shuts down rumors that the studio has been acquired by Sony

With the end of the Norse saga in God of War Ragnarok, Sony Santa Monica hasn’t outlined what’s next for the series. It did launchValhalla, an expansion-sized rogue-lite mode that serves as an Epilogue of sorts for Kratos, but the studio’s newest project remains unknown.

Two years and a month after Horizon Forbidden West launched on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles, PC gamers can finally step into the vast and gorgeous post-apocalyptic Western USA created by Guerrilla Games.

Baldur's Gate 3's developer was working on DLC, and then scrapped it because it felt more obligatory than an actual passion.

There have been many rumors floating around about the PS5 Pro and what the specs might be for this console. However, if the rumors are true, then that means the CPU for the Pro console will only have a slight improvement from the normal PS5 everyone has now. But Kepler, who is an AMD insider, has said that this could mean the next-generation console is going to be backwards compatibility and that they are keeping that in mind while making this upgraded PS5 console.

In the violent future of Helldivers 2, the United Kingdom no longer exists on Super Earth, it would seem. The co-op shooter from Arrowhead Game Studios has become a smash hit thanks to its gameplay and sci-fi story that blends classic tropes and dark, cynical humor. Lots of gamers love Helldivers 2 and are always eager to learn more about its world and backstory.

In an attempt to prove that The Witcher isn't the only European folklore-inspired RPG on the block, new studio Mighty Koi Studio has announced not one, but two brand new games.

From fire tornadoes and meteor showers last week to new armour and weapons later this week, Arrowhead Game Studios’ accelerated post-launch plans for Helldivers 2 have been bearing fruit in some interesting ways. Most intriguing have been the developer’s ongoing live service storytelling efforts, which have now taken the form of flying bugs- but don’t let any of the Super Earth faithful hear you say that.

Helldivers 2 is continuing its strong reign by introducing yet another round of space bugs for us to deal with. Also, some of them seem to be flying. What's that all about Joel?!

I've written a bit about playing Helldivers 2 as a solo diver, noting that Arrowhead's frenetic shooter holds up surprisingly well when you rudely insist on treating it like an open world stealth sim, a la Metal Gear Solid V. The developers have weighed in on this front, commenting that strictly speaking, Helldivers 2 doesn't support stealth at all. It's just designed in an "agnostic", systems-first way and this in itself makes stealth a possibility. It's also a quiet attempt to capture something of the intricacy of a full-blown military simulator, while still being a very "arcadey" game at heart, which owes a little to Arrowhead's own collective time in the military.

LA-based studio Deviation Games has closed down, the studios Human Resources and Operations Officer Kriste Stull has confirmed in a LinkedIn post. The studio had been working on a game in partnership with Sony.

Deviation Games, the new studio partnered with PlayStation, has shut down just a few years after saying its Sony collaboration would bring "complete financial security." 

is a game with plenty of strategic possibilities, but there's one key aspect of tactics that has been misrepresented from the start. Some areas where the game can be confusing have to do with bugs present at its launch, like the armor issue that has rendered heavy armor significantly less useful than intended. On the other end, however, some information can be deliberately withheld with the intention of making the game easier to get into rather than harder.
