With little fanfare, Helldivers 2's creative director shares that Arrowhead are prototyping a roguelite mode

He conscionable tweeted it retired meme dot jpeg

I deliberation determination is simply a precise compelling lawsuit for Twitter not being the spot that accusation about, well, honestly anything, should beryllium casually shared successful a substance of information manner. It is simply a tract for, if we indispensable usage it, posting things similar "just downloaded immoderate MP3s to my iPod Touch," not sharing that Arrowhead are presently investigating a roguelite mode successful Helldivers 2, which is precisely what the game's originative manager Johan Pilestedt did today.

He said it arsenic simply arsenic that too. In effect to idiosyncratic suggesting to him that a roguelike mode mightiness beryllium fun, Pilestedt simply, and politely, responded, "Hey! We person a prototype of a rogue-lite mode - it changes the crippled fundamentally!" You cannot bash this, Pilestedt, due to the fact that present you'll person folks badgering you for lone the gods cognize however agelong until specified a mode is formally announced and/or available.

There are zero (less than one, much than minus one) different details to beryllium recovered astir specified a prototype arsenic Pilestedt has not shared them, and I ideate volition not until determination is thing coagulated to beryllium shared. This is simply a unrecorded work crippled aft all, concepts and features alteration each the time, who knows if this 1 volition adjacent marque it retired the door?

It's besides worthy remembering that this is simply a unrecorded work crippled that has been struggling nether its ain value recently. Back successful October it received a monolithic update that fixed much than 200 bugs (not that kind), an update that came aft months of show issues. These problems had been truthful prolific that they had to halt adding caller bits similar contented and diagnostic updates for a while, the happening that keeps the wealth instrumentality turning. So, yeah, if that roguelite mode ever comes it, expect it to instrumentality a while.

Things look to beryllium successful shipper signifier these days, and it was conscionable past week that Arrowhead released a physique of the crippled that chopped its record size down to 23GB from 154GB, precisely the benignant of quality my hard thrust likes to see.
