It\\'s worth recalling that Helldivers 2 achieved the unprecedented feat of becoming the fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game ever, selling an astounding 12 million copies within just 12 weeks. This record-breaking sales performance is unlikely to be surpassed by any other first-party Sony-developed title. However, since its explosive debut, the game has navigated through significant challenges: a reversal on PSN account requirements for Steam users, review-bombing campaigns, and a community frequently at odds with the game itself over adjustments to gameplay mechanics that were sometimes seen as too extreme or insufficient.

Throughout these trials, Arrowhead has grappled with managing a larger and more mainstream audience than ever before. Now, 14 months after Helldivers 2\\'s launch on PC and PlayStation 5, the question arises: how does Arrowhead view its past experiences? Has the studio begun to master the demanding landscape of live-service gaming? And following the successful Killzone collaboration, could a partnership with Warhammer 40,000 be on the horizon?

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