Helldivers 2 has officially released its holiday event, the Festival of Reckoning, just in time for the holiday season. The new Helldivers 2 event comes complete with new limited-time Stratagems, which some players speculate is due to Arrowhead Game Studios testing the waters for future updates. The Festival of Reckoning is live between now and December 31.
Helldivers 2 also celebrated the holiday season with the Festival of Reckoning last year, too, albeit in a smaller fashion. Last year, the Festival of Reckoning ran for just three days, which is quite a limited window for players who only have a small amount of time to play the game. However, Arrowhead jokingly justifies the expansion year by saying that "the Reckoning Fund, which finances the yearly event, is bursting with credits, and so this year’s festival is even longer and more joyously explosive." These types of limited-time events are where Helldivers 2 has thrived as a live-service title, with the developer always giving players a reason to log on and spread a little more Managed Democracy.
