Helldivers 2: Patch release pace will slow down for the good of the game
Arrowhead plans to reduce the release cadence of Helldivers 2 updates for the good of the game, players and developers.
Arrowhead Games Studio will slow down the pace of publishing Helldivers 2 patches from now on , to give the developers the opportunity to work on them longer and consequently increase the quality of the new content and more thoughtful balance changes.
This is, in summary, what was stated by community manager Twinbeard on the official Helldivers 2 Discord servers, who admitted that so far the update cadence has been too high , leading to a slowdown in work and a lowering of quality.
“We want to take a little more time for the next patch and potentially future ones, as we feel the cadence has probably been a little too high to maintain the standard of quality that we want and that you deserve,” said Twinbeard .
“Releasing many patches can easily interrupt your workflow and requires more resources than you might think; it requires planning, implementation, monitoring, possible changes in hotfixes, etc. So we prefer to extend the time a little, hoping to get a good result”.

Slowing down the pace of updates should therefore benefit the game, developers and players . However, it seems that at the moment the development team has not outlined a precise schedule for the publication, according to the response given by Twinbeard to a player who asked if from now on the balance patches will be distributed every two weeks or once a week month.
“Nothing that detailed has been decided. I would say it’s something we need to test and do some analysis on. At the moment we feel that a slightly lower cadence is beneficial for us, for you and for the game.”
