Arrowhead Game Studios has decided to make an “emergency expansion” of their tailor-made Helldivers 2 game master team as the title approaches its one-month anniversary, with reinforcements for the enigmatic GM Joel on their way.
Arrowhead community lead Katherine Baskin said in the official Helldivers 2 Discord server this week that more personnel will be dedicated to Helldivers 2’s Dungeons & Dragons-like GM team in the near future, with their bold plan to run the campaign no longer feasible without more staff. “Unfortunately, our scope was much narrower at launcg,” Baskin said. “We expected fewer players and easier means and methods of communication.”
