Helldivers 2 Is Absolutely Bursting with Bugs, Squads Up on PS5, PC in February | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Sony and developer Arrowhead have given us a fresh look at gameplay for the upcoming co-op shooter, Helldivers 2. More than that, the video provides us with a release date — it's heading to PS5 and PC on 8th February, 2024.

The gameplay shows a squad dropping down to an alien planet that's crawling with alien creatures. As if that wasn't bad enough, a huge Bile Titan shows up to spew liquid death on the troops. It looks like cooperation will truly be the key to victory here; one example shows one player firing explosives at the Bile Titan while another player reloads the weapon. And, of course, friendly fire is on, so you'll need to communicate effectively with your teammates.

To us, it looks like it'll be a blast with friends in a similar way to something like EDF or Zombie Army. There's maybe a little more strategising to consider here, but if you're into those horde-blasting co-op games, this should be up your street.

We're certainly interested, but how about you? Are you joining the ranks of Helldivers 2? Enlist in the comments section below.

Having grown up alongside PlayStation, Stephen has developed an eclectic taste in video games and a wide knowledge of the medium, from small indie gems to the biggest AAA blockbusters. Ever hopeful that the Burnout series makes a miraculous return.

Don't let the cringey Ubisoft like interaction get you down. You will need to communicate and strategize and all those things in the video will 100% happen too.

I see some PlayStation dudes trashing this game just because it’s a live service game which is sad.

This looks so painfully generic and bland. This makes me less interested than before. And TPS co-op is my absolute jam.

I just can't muster any excitement for this whatsoever.
