While the team has continued to focus on their primary objectives, many enthusiastic fans of HellDivers 2 have kept a close watch on the game’s SteamDB page over the past week or so.
Arrowhead has perplexed many with an unexpected update to a depot, which bears striking resemblance to the intensity of Hell’s Kitchen rather than Helldivers.
The database is receiving extraordinary attention from Helldivers 2’s developers, with Arrowhead quietly updating a repository called “gameplay_illuminates” just last month, resulting in the explanation being given extra consideration. Speculation among gamers ensued, with many hypothesizing that the studio was finally gearing up to release the long-awaited faction.
While there has been no movement on this front thus far, enthusiasts on the Helldivers 2 subreddit tracking SteamDB have now identified another intriguing name that they speculate could be Arrowhead Games having a bit of fun with the fact it knows it’s got information-hungry folks closely listening to the game’s depot updates.
Yesterday, Arrowhead updated several depots with enigmatic titles reminiscent of “gameplay_factions” and “use_this_to_go_live”, sparking speculation about their significance. However, it was the ‘pineapple_soup_is_delicious’ depot that truly piqued curiosity.
Given the limitations of SteamDB, without any straightforward method to inspect the longevity of individual user profiles at a glance, it’s unclear if this depot is genuinely novel or simply a cleverly disguised prank on unsuspecting players. As you navigate this significant shift in tone from the disarmingly straightforward, “gameplay_illuminates” and the mystifyingly esoteric, it’s intriguing to speculate on the creative process behind such an abrupt change in naming conventions.
Here is the rewritten text:
The top comment on a thread of gamers speculating about the latest depot update from Arrowhead reads: “I believe they finally remembered that SteamDB is a factor lol,” while others have sarcastically decided either way, opting for the update or dismissing it altogether. As some have wryly suggested, the enigmatic acronym P.S.I.D could potentially be deciphered as “PlayStation Identification” – a notion that hardly sparks excitement – or perhaps even “Precariously Stepping Into Darkness,” a notion that’s only slightly more thrilling.
Given the current ambiguity surrounding that concept, only Arrowhead seems to have a grasp on its true nature; therefore, it’s likely best to continue with the status quo and await potential further clarification before making any adjustments. As a result, the mighty forces of the Earth are now severely threatened by the prospect that they may not be able to capture Choohe before the deadline runs out.
Can I dare suggest that a refined palate might find such an unusual dish intriguing, rather than necessarily scrumptious? Tell us under!
