Helldivers 2 has a way of bringing players together, especially now that Xbox Series X|S gamers can join their PS5 and PC allies in the battle for Super Earth’s survival. While Helldivers 2 players have requested an in-game social hub like the tower in Destiny, that won’t be coming anytime soon. But it may be a feature in Helldivers 3.
Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani recently addressed the fan request for a Helldivers 2 social hub during an appearance on Reddit (via Games Radar). According to Jorjani, “it’s on the feature list for the next one.”
Just don’t expect to move into that social hub anytime soon. As Jorjani previously noted on Discord, “We honestly are focusing on the here and now. [Helldivers 3] is hopefully many years away.”
Helldivers 2 recently surged past 500,000 concurrent players, and that was before the Into the Unjust update dropped a lot of new content including some very difficult enemies on the Hive Worlds. The Hive Lords are particularly hard to kill unless you’ve got a lot of nukes handy. You could try killing them without nukes, but those battles tend to be hilariously one-sided in favor of the Hive Lords.
Jorjani has previously said that the majority of Helldivers 2 players enjoy the game “silently” and don’t offer much feedback that the developers can use. Regardless, the team has been releasing large patches and smaller updates to quash in-game bugs so you players can go back to killing the giant interstellar space bugs without further interruptions. It’s a never-ending battle, so get to it, Helldivers!
