Before entering the main discussion, VCGamers will always open the discussion by detailing the franchise first, guys! That way, those of you who may not follow the franchise's progress will still understand!

Of course there wouldn't be a Helldivers 2 if it weren't for its predecessor. And as a product from an indie game development studio (namely Arrowhead), this franchise is said to be very promising!

Helldivers itself is not the first game from Arrowhead. Their debut in this industry began with their first title (Magicka) in 2011.

At that time, this game was still heavily influenced by the trend of the isometric graphics genre with a top-down camera view.

This kind of genre is often identified with the characteristics of the famous franchise made by Blizzard: Diablo – as one of the titles that first popularized it.

So it's not surprising that the developer finally applied the same look to their newest title Helldivers (at that time) which was released in 2015.

If you don't pay attention to the theme of this game, it looks like a mix between Star Wars, Halo, and Starship Troopers, many say Helldivers is Diablo but the ranged-futuristic version!

Seeing the "specialization" adopted by the developer, it is not surprising that the fans are waiting for a similar form for the sequel to Helldivers 2. They are looking forward to what updates will come up.

No half-hearted, it took 9 years for Arrowhead to release the latest sequel to the shooter game! But it turns out their long wait was not in vain.

Instead of getting an isometric RPG game like Diablo 4, Helldivers 2 is packaged using the third-person shooting action genre (action third-person shooter – ATPS)!

As a result, this even looks like the game Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2019)! Even critics believe that this game looks better, in line with what any space game fan would expect.

The performance of this game is also fairly smooth. The movements and sensations given when the action takes place are also very natural.

It's no surprise that in just three days, this game has reached its first million sales figure! What a pretty good reception this industry has received!

Helldivers 2 roadmap

So now it's time to discuss the Helldivers 2 roadmap. This game is so hype.

So for those who don't understand roadmaps, basically it is a term used in the gaming industry to describe developers' development plans for their games in the future.

Each developer will definitely have a specific roadmap for each of their titles. Of course this also applies to Arrowhead and its various Helldivers installations!

And as reported on the Gamesradar page, here are several points listed in the Helldivers 2 roadmap:

  • Vehicle which can be used in multiplayer mode, like the Warthog from the Halo game.
  • Support NPCs that can be summoned during battle to help players. These NPCs are driven by AI and are not real players.
  • A new faction, namely 'the Illuminate'. This faction is psychic aliens (using mental and metaphysical powers) who appeared in the first sequel to this game. So far, this faction has only appeared in the story plot and has never actually appeared. It is very likely that this faction will appear in the next update/DLC. An indication that is also visible in this game is the presence of blue light in-game content.

These are some of them that could potentially emerge. However, these points are still far from fixed!

What needs to be noted is that the roadmap is still just a collection of ideas from the developer, and is very different from a teaser! So, please wait until the fix actually appears in the patch note update!
