Helldivers 2 is a simple game. Dave down to a planet with three friends or randos, obliterate everything that's not human, complete a few objectives, and extract. It's the perfect gameplay loop, and that's why it's so popular. While some fans have asked for varying modes like solos or duos, developer Arrowhead has stood firm on the formula. However, it looks like this could change.
In a recent tweet, creative director Johan Pilestedt revealed that the studio is currently prototyping a new roguelite mode for Helldivers 2 (thanks GamesRadar+), which will change the game's structure entirely. Of course, just because it's being prototyped, it doesn't mean that it will actually be launched, but it sounds pretty interesting.
Replying to a fan who suggested a roguelike mode concept, Pilestedt casually said, "Hey! We have a prototype of a rogue-lite mode - it changes the game fundamentally!" That's one way to reveal to your fans that you're working on a possible new mode. Unfortunately, he didn't provide any more details, but that won't stop me from conceptualizing.
I imagine this roguelite mode to be a solo experience, with randomly selected weapons and stratagems. Much like the base game, it will feature...
