Arrowhead Recruiting Devs to 'Accelerate and Beef Up' Helldivers 2 Content Plans

The success of Helldivers 2's simultaneous launch on both PS5 and PC appears to have caught several interested parties off guard, blowing through initial projections with its ludicrously addictive brand of chaotic, cooperative gameplay. That's despite fairly serious server issues since launch on Friday, with multiple patches (including another released today) already deployed.

Perhaps that's why developer Arrowhead has put out a public call to arms to any developers skilled or brave enough to spread Democracy to the ends of the galaxy. Creative director Johan Pilestedt took to Twitter, seeking "more amazing developers" who can help Arrowhead "accelerate and beef up our content plans". Specific job listings will be posted to Arrowhead's recruitment site soon, and Pilestedt notes that "if you're a senior dev, there's always the 'open application'".

Arrowhead's objective is to secure the server situation and provide patches and fixes to support the ongoing war effort, but that's just the beginning. The developers said a content roadmap is coming so players can decide if this is a cause worth supporting. Arrowhead has previously pledged that all future content would be free to players and that "enemies, objectives, [and] biomes" were all possibilities. They've also promised to make good for the rocky launch and lost rewards with some limited-time events in the future.
