“We Don’t Know If They Will Win” – Helldivers 2 Director Discusses Consequences Of Failing Cyberstan Invasion

Helldivers 2 is currently embroiled in its biggest conflict yet, the invasion of Cyberstan, the home world of the Automatons and the recently re-emerged Cyborgs, who had lain dormant since the First Galactic War (the original Helldivers). Despite the enduring might of Liberty and Managed Democracy, however, victory on Cyberstan is not assured, and the theater is likely to have a permanent impact on the Second Galactic War. Helldivers 2 constitutes an ongoing live-service narrative, told through the victories and defeats won and suffered by the players, and this major operation surrounding the game’s second anniversary could still end in disaster.
