Helldivers 2's review-bomb cape might not exist after all, even though the game's director teased it weeks ago

After much anticipation, and even excitement from Arrowhead's itself, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Helldivers 2 review bomb cape might not exist after all.

If you're unfamiliar with the cape proposition, it came about after Helldivers 2 was review-bombed on Steam in the wake of Sony's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码🎶历史查询:incredibly unpopula✨r PSN account linking mandate. Steam lets users view recent reviews in bar graph form, and so all the overwhelmingly negative user verdicts stacked up in a nice line, which players then proposed should be immo🍎rtalized as an in-game cape.

Arrowhead's devs were pretty game for whole concept - even Helldivers 2's own dire🐎ctor teased something earlier 🔥this month that looked strikingl♔y similar to the review-bomb cape that players had proposed. However, it now looks like the entire thing might have been slightly blown out of proportion, and Arrowhead isn't working on the ca𒁃pe after all.

"No, its existence or hypothetical delivery is veiled in clouds," Arrowhead comm🎃unity manager Twinbeard stated in the Helldivers 2 Discord, responding to a query about whether the review-bomb cape was actually a reality for the shooter. "Some say it was spotted on a distant rock on Vernen Wells, while some say it was never made in the first place."

That's a pretty ambiguous message to deliver to a player base, and it's one that won't really help players deduce whether the review-bomb cape is actually coming to Helldivers 2, or not. There's probably a lot of players out there still desperately hoping for th💯e much-wanted cape.

Helldivers 2 director confirms 'we are the baddies' as he says the game's original pitch was based around a classic Star Wars moment.
