It\\'s worth recalling that Helldivers 2 has not only earned critical acclaim but also set records as the fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game ever, with an impressive 12 million copies sold within just 12 weeks. This feat is unlikely to be surpassed by any other first-party Sony-developed game. Since its explosive debut, the game has navigated through significant challenges, including a reversal on PSN account requirements on Steam, review-bomb campaigns, and a community often divided over the game\\'s balance adjustments.

Throughout these trials, Arrowhead has grappled with managing a vastly expanded and more mainstream player base than ever before. Now, 14 months after Helldivers 2\\'s launch on PC and PlayStation 5, the studio reflects on its journey. Has Arrowhead begun to master the demanding world of live-service gaming? Following their collaboration with Killzone, could a partnership with Warhammer 40,000 be on the horizon?

IGN had the opportunity to sit down with Alex Bolle, the production director of Helldivers 2, to delve deeper into these questions and explore Arrowhead\\'s future plans.
