Arrowhead Game Studios have announced Helldivers 2, the sequel to the top-down shooter, will now switch to third-person action against massive enemy mobs.

Players will step into the boots of an elite class of soldiers whose mission is to spread peace, liberty, and Managed Democracy using the biggest and most explosive tools in the galaxy. Team up with up to four friends and wreak havoc on the alien scourge that threatens the safety of your home, Super Earth.

Players can decide how to take down each enemy surge using a multitude of offensive and defensive tools. As you complete missions, you’ll be able to upgrade your ship and build an even more impressive arsenal. Everything from shield generators to turrets to large-scale airstrikes can be used to give your team the upper hand.

But for maximum challenge and collaboration, friendly fire is always on. Communicate with your squad mates and make sure those stray bullets and mines take down the real adversaries.

Helldivers 2 is planned for release on PS5 and PC in 2023.
