Arrowhead Game Studios recently revealed more details surrounding roguelite systems making their way to Helldivers 2. Dubbed Planet Warfronts, this feature has players earn their first real look at what roguelite-style content will look like for Helldivers 2.
Arrowhead details that Planet Warfronts will make liberating planets more dynamic, challenging, and rewarding by adding evolving objectives and community-based consequences.
Players initially learned of the roguelite systems months ago when Arrowhead first detailed they were experimenting on a roguelite prototype that would drastically alter players’ approach to the Galactic War. At the time, developers noted they had actually been developing the idea even before Helldivers 2 released, but didn’t have enough content to support such a feature when players first took to the game.
Thankfully, developers now have enough Warzone missions and lore-friendly content to bring Planet Warfronts online. As such, Arrowhead feels confident stating that Planet Warfronts will become a permanent feature of Helldivers 2.
Players can look forward to three distinct mission types under Planet Warfronts. Operations in liberated zones will be known as Defend while Frontline War missions will take place on the battlefront. Behind Enemy Lines missions will send players on dangerous operations within enemy-held territory.
Missions will center around planetary objectives with each operation revolving around liberating and defending key locations on the battlefield. These points of interest will range from large metropolitan strongholds to defensive military bunkers.
Expect Arrowhead to sprinkle each with unique enemy variants and special modifiers. Arrowhead teases that there will even be permanent consequences based on how each Planet Warfront plays out.
For instance, completing objectives within a timer or taking down enemy facilities might unlock new Operations while simultaneously pushing forward with that planet’s overall liberation. Failure to complete these tasks may result in additional hardships for the Helldivers community.
