Helldivers 2 Escalation of Freedom Poll

The first big update for Helldivers 2 has dropped, with the hope being that it generates some renewed hype around the highly rated co-op shooter. Titled Escalation of Freedom, the update is jam-packed with new game modes, objectives, and enemy types. There's even a new difficulty setting to tackle, and just about every aspect of gameplay's been rebalanced in some way. It's an absolute corker.

As we all know, Helldivers 2 enjoyed immense success following its PS5 and PC launch back in early February. It sold like crazy for months, but interest did seem to cool off around the start of summer, and naturally, all manner of articles were written on the game's supposed downfall — even though it was still posting a very healthy player count.

And so Escalation of Freedom could well be the shot in the arm that Helldivers 2 deserves. But are you diving back into the chaos? Have your say in our polls, and then lock and load in the comments section below.
