It's been a tumultuous first year for Helldivers 2. The game had a stunning launch but was quickly followed by a series of review bombings for seemingly unjust weapon nerfs.
All of that is hopefully in the past, though, as with awards season underway, Helldivers 2 isn't doing too badly. The game scooped four awards at The Golden Joysticks, including Console Game of the Year, and another two, Best Multiplayer Game and Best Ongoing Game, at last week's Game Awards.
The Illuminate isn't going to be a pushover.
To celebrate this fact, members of the Arrowhead team has revealed that PlayStation has gifted them a life-size John Helldiver statue.
In a recent update, John Helldiver was canonized in Helldivers 2 lore. What started as a play on the 'John' trope, with the likes of John Halo and John Warhammer suffering the same fate, quickly became a reality.
John Helldiver then rose to further prominence, appearing on stage at The Game Awards, delivering a rousing message about the return of the illuminate.
Now, the character has been immortalized even further, with a life-sized statue of him being delivered to Arrowhead HQ, courtesy of PlayStation.
