Helldivers 2 will receive its biggest update yet in August, bringing higher difficulty, greater mission variety, and more.
Escalation of Freedom is the name of the update, which will arrive on 6th August. Details have been provided on the PlayStation Blog from social media and community manager at developer Arrowhead, Katherine Baskin.
The update will also add new enemy types, including a favourite from the first game, and will make steps to mitigate the problem of grief kicking.
