The news that Arrowhead Game Studios, the developer of Helldivers 2, the most popular production of last month, would be acquired by Sony, came as a bombshell. Following this announcement, fans panicked and demanded guarantees regarding any changes to the game. In recent days, there has been a significant development regarding the acquisition rumors. Here are all the details…
Will the developer of Helldivers 2 be sold?
Arrowhead Game Studios CEO Johan Pilestedt stated in his post regarding the matter that he heard these rumors for the first time and implied that he found them quite ridiculous. These statements, which came to the fore with Sony’s recent acquisitions of powerful game studios like Firewalk Studios, Bungie, and Firesprite, seem to have diminished significantly with Pilestedt’s conclusive statement on the matter.
Pilestedt, emphasizing that there are currently no plans for any sale, stated that they want to remain free to produce their own quality content. Although this statement may have reassured fans of Helldivers 2, there is considerable doubt about how strongly the studio can respond to a potential economic crisis.
Additionally, last week’s mass layoffs at various Sony game studios had significantly reduced the likelihood of the company acquiring a new studio. It is known that the company, whose PlayStation sales are not going as desired, is downsizing in the gaming department. We hope that all these developments will be in favor of gamers.
