Uitgever Sony Interactive Entertainment en ontwikkelaar Arrowhead hebben tijdens de PlayStation Showcase, Helldivers II aangekondigd.
Dit is een third person co-op team shooter waarbij je het op moet nemen tegen verschillende bedreigingen om je planeet te beschermen. Jij bent een Helldiver, een elite soldaat met dodelijke gear maar ook superhuman abilities.
Dit zijn de key features van Helldivers II:
- Fight for Super Earth – Freedom. Peace. Managed Democracy. Your Super Earth-born rights. The key pillars of our civilization are under attack from deadly alien creatures conspiring to destroy your planet and its values. The Helldivers must take on the role of peacekeepers in this Galactic War and protect their home planet, spread the message of Democracy and repel the hostiles by force.
- Wield Overpowered Weapons – Decide how to take down each enemy surge using a multitude of offensive and defensive tools. Need to take out a massive onslaught of Terminids in one go? Call in a hellpod drop a 500KG bomb, leaving behind only liberated bug corpses. Need to lay down a defensive perimeter? Bring in an Anti-Personnel Mine Deployer to boobytrap the battlefield. As you complete missions, you can upgrade your ship and build an even more impressive arsenal. Everything from shield generators, to turrets, to large-scale airstrikes can be used to give your team the upper-hand.
- Aim Carefully – They say everything is better with friends, especially when it comes to raining destruction down on the enemies of Liberty! Be warned though: for maximum challenge and collaboration, friendly fire is always on. Communicate with your squadmates and make sure your arsenal only takes down your adversaries.
Helldivers II verschijnt dit jaar nog op de PlayStation 5 en de PC.
