Arrowhead Game Studios’ Helldivers 2 launches in just a few days, and a new tweet reveals the exact time that various regions can start playing. Those in Los Angeles can begin at 1 AM PDT on February 8th, or 6 AM in Rio de Janeiro, 9 AM in London, 10 AM in Stockholm, 6 PM in Seoul and Tokyo, and 8 PM in Sydney.
As a sequel to the 2015 top-down shooter, Helldivers 2 takes a third-person approach. The gameplay is as visceral as ever, with players learning Stratagems and working alongside other players to defeat the Bugs and new Automatons. Cooperation is essential, but be careful of friendly fire.
With a larger-scale Galactic War campaign and new Warbonds, which continuously add items to unlock with Super Credits, Helldivers 2 could be worthwhile live-service title. It’s out on February 8th for PS5 and PC, with cross-platform play enabled. Head here for more details (and here to see some mechs in action).
