It\\'s worth recalling that Helldivers 2 holds the title of the fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game ever, with an impressive 12 million copies sold in just 12 weeks. This record is unlikely to be surpassed by any other first-party Sony-developed game. Since its explosive launch, the game has faced numerous challenges, including a significant reversal on PSN account requirements on Steam, review-bombing campaigns, and a community often in conflict with the game itself over adjustments to gameplay balance.

Throughout these trials, Arrowhead has grappled with managing a larger, more diverse player base than it had previously encountered. Now, 14 months after Helldivers 2\\'s debut on PC and PlayStation 5, how does Arrowhead view its past experiences? Has the studio begun to master the demanding world of live-service games? Following their collaboration with Killzone, could a partnership with Warhammer 40,000 be on the horizon?

IGN had the opportunity to discuss these questions and more with Alex Bolle, the production director of Helldivers 2, to gain deeper insights into the game\\'s ongoing journey and future prospects.
