Helldivers 2 review bomb cape design may be real, and players want it

The Helldivers 2 review bomb campaign players went on before Sony reverted the upcoming requirement for a PSN account login inadvertently created a great design for an in-game cape. Now, it looks like that cape may have been brought to life, and players can’t want to get it.

Over the past week or so, Helldivers 2 players have been through a pretty rough series of movements against and then for the game they love. When Sony indicated that a PSN account would be required to play from the end of May, players went on a review-bomb campaign until this requirement was rescinded. After that, a positive review-bombing campaign began, making a pretty interesting pattern on the game’s review stats page.

Arrowhead reveals Helldivers 2 review bomb cape could be coming

Over the weekend, Arrowhead Game Studios’ CEO Johan Pilesedt shared a cheeky in Helldivers 2 that looks suspiciously like the Steam reviews image that he joked would make a great cape in the game.ꦿ Players immediately jumped on the past and began begging to have it in their inventory.

Users seemingly lost their minds when they saw this and posted amazing replies, like , “ID LIKE TO DOWNVOTE THIS POST BUT IN A POSITIVE WAY.”

The cape would be the second to commemorate the Helldivers 2 community. The first was the Malevelon Creek cape that every player was given in recognition of the insane n𝓡umber of deaths on the planet and how muc🤡h players hate fighting on it.

This new cape could mean more, though. It recognizes the power of the community working together not just in the ga🧸me but outside of it, too. The review bombing was a form of protest, as players aimed to force Sony♊ to reverse its decision to require PC players to have a PSN account.

However, just because a cape may be on the way, it doesn’t mean the Helldivers 2 community is done fighting. At the time of writing, 177 countries are unable to purchase the game after it was delisted from Steam. Those countries do not allow PSN accounts, meaning it was impossible for those users to play the game once the PSN reཧquirement was instated.

User G.O.A.T.Gaming replied to this same post, saying, “You promised everyone would be able to play Helldivers, and they can’t. We trusted you!” Pilestedt has explained in multiple social media posts that it would be in Sony’s hands to fix this, but Arrowhead Game Studios is hoping it will be resolved soon.
