Watch On
The last major update to Helldivers 2, Into the Unjust, caused all sorts of performance problems that developer Arrowhead said were a result of unaddressed technical debt. As the game grew in size and complexity, it became increasingly unstable, and Arrowhead said in September that it had plans to address it.
Arrowhead dropped a new video today that covers how future updates will roll out. In order to fix the most egregious issues and to keep the game stable, game director Mikael Erikkson says major new updates will be a little slower to appear.
“We have made the decision to push some of our content and feature updates a little bit into the future while we’re addressing these things to make sure that we can get to a much more stable state that we can believe in,” Erikkson explains. “And also we want to make sure that we update the game in ways that are more stable, in ways that are noticeable for players with every new update that we do.”
