The PlayStation family won’t be growing with the addition of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead, it seems. The developer’s CEO, Johan Pilestedt, shot down rumors his company was being acquired by Sony.
Spotted by Eurogamer, Pilestedt responded on X (formerly known as Twitter) to someone asking if Arrowhead Game Studios might be joining PlayStation as a first-party developer. The Helldivers 2 creative director outright denied the scuttlebutt: “This is fake,” he said. Pilestedt even replied to another person who claimed Arrowhead “sold out to Sony,” saying, “this would be the first hear I about it.”
This is fake… Unless I’ve missed something ๐ค
Also, a really shitty old logo from 2008 or so when we just started the studio.โ Pilestedt (@Pilestedt) March 6, 2024
Sony has published two of Arrowhead’s five games: Helldivers and Helldivers 2. The sequel has been extremely popular, even smashing GTA 5’s concurrent player record on Steam. People even really want Helldivers 2 on Xbox, since it’s currently only available on PC and PS5.
