Helldivers 2 It was released last February 8th and since its launch it has been a success. Thanks to this, many of the new players in the franchise have asked the studio to add a PvP mode to Helldivers 2. However, even though players encounter the risks of friendly fire on their raids, the studio behind the development of Helldivers 2 seems to be uninterested in bringing the competitive environment to his “paradise of space democracy.”
Because Helldivers 2 will never have PvP?
It is normal that in a game where friendly fire is an even greater danger—sometimes—than enemies, players want to release their frustration by eliminating other players instead of fighting the environment. However, for Johan Pilestedt, CEO and creative director of Arrowhead Game Studios, there will “never” be a PvP mode in Helldivers 2.
The blunt response of the CEO of Arrowhead Game Studios to the desire of some users to include a PvP mode in Helldivers 2 «to compete or take away players from a colossus like COD» lies in the philosophy that the development team has for its game. Pilestedt responded to this idea by saying, “It’s about reducing the toxic elements of the community. “We want a supportive, fun environment in which we all fight on the same side.” Without a doubt, they are very powerful words in an era where war conflicts not only saturate the industry, but also our daily lives.
This forceful response caused other users to suggest that the developer studio of Helldivers 2 be “afraid” to add PvP mode. Of course, Pilestedt did not remain silent and replied “we are not scared.” “We just don’t want the toxicity that comes with it. There are many games, in fact most, that offer PvP. We make games for people who just want to have a challenging time with friends, but in a PvE environment. Pilestedt concludes his answer by recommending that if we want PvP we play Escape from Tarkov.
This position contrasts with some comments from other developers, but tell us what you think of the words of the CEO of Arrowhead Game Studios. We read them in the comments.
