The newly launched Killzone DLC for Sony’s Helldivers II has not gone over entirely smoothly, as some people have made their feelings known about the pricing. Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani recently responded to fan questions, and among his responses was confirmation that Arrowhead–not Sony–bears responsibility for the pricing decision.
“It’s a partnership [with Sony],” he said on the Helldivers Discord, as reported by IGN. “But we are in the driving seat behind the decisions. This one is on us.”
Jorjani also pointed out how the Killzone DLC is the first crossover content in Helldivers 2, and the studio will be “figuring it out as we go along.” The executive went on to mention how the DLC is optional, but the more paid content the company sells, the more free content the studio will be able to release.
