It\\'s important to recall that Helldivers 2 set a monumental record as the fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game ever, achieving sales of 12 million copies within just 12 weeks. This is a milestone that is unlikely to be surpassed by any first-party Sony-developed game. Since its explosive launch, the game has navigated through significant challenges, including a reversal on PSN account requirements for Steam users, review-bombing campaigns, and a community often at odds with the game itself over adjustments like nerfs and buffs.

Throughout these trials, Arrowhead has grappled with managing a vastly expanded and more mainstream player base than ever before. Now, 14 months post-launch on PC and PlayStation 5, it\\'s crucial to reflect on Arrowhead\\'s journey. Has the developer finally mastered the demanding world of live-service gaming? Following the collaboration with Killzone, could a partnership with Warhammer 40,000 be on the horizon?

To delve deeper into these questions, IGN conducted an exclusive interview with Alex Bolle, the production director of Helldivers 2, to gain insights into Arrowhead\\'s experiences and future plans.
