Helldivers 2 is a successful game and in these first months after its release it is always at the top of the best-selling charts. Certainly the team – Arrowhead – is under great pressure and the public fears that Sony – the publisher – is pushing for certain content to be created in a certain amount of time.
Arrowhead CEO Pilestedt, however, explains that this is not the case. He says PlayStation has only one expectation: “create great games for gamers.” The CEO indicates that Sony trusts the team and is not forcing it in any way.
Of course this doesn't mean there isn't pressure on the team – as mentioned, they created a successful game and now they have to keep it successful, but that's how this market works.
Where does the discussion come from?
All the talk about “pressure” that Arrowhead is subjected to was born around the fact that the team must find a balance between continuing to add new content and inserting fixes for existing problems.
The team can't simply avoid creating new content for some time so they can fully focus on fixing patches, because they want to make sure Helldivers 2 remains relevant in the gaming scene. In this sense, Sony isn't forcing the team to create new content instead of fixing problems.
