Helldivers 2 as the Latest Sequel

As discussed in the articles Helldivers Previously, this installation was the latest sequel to the Swedish game studio's 'Gacoan' shooter game franchise.

Of course, what has made this game so widely discussed recently is the drastic change in the genre that has been adopted so far.

The hardcore Arrowhead fanbase certainly understands that the developer's titles will always be packaged in top-down isometric RPG form. But in this sequel, they appear different.

Instead of embracing a similar genre, they dared to "get out of their comfort zone" by switching to a much more challenging genre: action third-person shooter (TPS)! Indeed, this genre has become one of the most mainstream today.

But of course the development is not as easy as maintaining the original genre. And of course their hard work is very well appreciated by the market.

In just three days, Helldivers 2 can pocket sales figures of up to 1 million copies! This sweet fruit cannot be separated from the mentality of the developer who dares to see opportunities, is open to various possibilities, and is willing to answer challenges.
