Dari fire tornadoes and meteor showers minggu lalu ke new armour and weapons later this week, Arrowhead Game Studios’ accelerated post-launch plans for Penyelam Neraka 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.
Flying variants of Penyelam Neraka 2 bugs (or Terminids) have suddenly started appearing in the game, with many sharing clips of the same on Reddit and elsewhere on social media. However, Arrowhead Game Studios has thrown an amusing wrench into those works, with CEO and creative director Johan Pilestedt quickly taking to Twitter to label “rumours” of flying bugs as “preposterous claims” and “propaganda from bug sympathizers that want to brainwash good people”. And what about the flying bugs on the game’s cover art? That’s just “image manipulation by traitors”, Pilestedt says.
Arrowhead recently pushed a new Major Order in Penyelam Neraka 2, directing the community to the Umlaut sector with orders to eradicate Terminid population on all planets in the system by inoculating them with Termicide. True to form, the studio has snuck in the surprise addition of a new enemy type here, and used it as an opportunity to continue telling the game’s ongoing story.
In similar vein, earlier this month, Penyelam Neraka 2 acak started unlocking pilotable mechs for players. Shortly afterward, Arrowhead kicked off a new Major Order to liberate a planet from Automaton control so the Super Earth factories there could begin manufacturing mechs that players could then use dalam permainan.
Penyelam Neraka 2 is available on PS5 and PC.
Saya pernah mendengar rumor tentang serangga terbang @helldivers2. Saya ingin secara resmi membantah klaim tidak masuk akal tersebut.
Semua orang tahu bahwa “Serangga tidak bisa terbang”.
Dan saya tidak sendirian dalam memikirkan hal ini. Kementerian Kebenaran setuju bahwa ini adalah propaganda dari simpatisan serangga yang ingin mencuci otak…
