“High Command strongly recommends…”: Helldivers 2’s Immersion Gets Stronger as High Command Enforces a New Morning Ritual
An anthem from High Command might just be what the Helldivers need before the inevitable threat of new enemies emerges.
As more Helldivers 2 players begin to demand new Warbonds and enemy types from Arrowhead Game Studios, it looks like the developers are building up to something very big. With recent updates adding only incremental changes to existing content in the game, players are looking forward to what the studio has planned for its flagship title.
A recent addition to Helldivers 2 comes in the form of a brand-new soundtrack from a name that is pretty well-known in the video game industry. Legendary composer Ross Tregenza has added Helldivers 2 to a long list of games that have been elevated by his talents.
Helldivers 2 Gets the Tregenza Treatment
The BAFTA-nominated sound designer and music composer Ross Tregenza’s work has featured in several popular titles in modern gaming, some of which include Cyberpunk 2077, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, Crysis, and Dead Island 2.
Tregenza’s new soundtrack for Helldivers 2 is a perfect encapsulation of the game’s premise of a crack team of elite troops looking to spread Democracy through a galaxy that has seen oppression from the Terminids and Automatons for too long.
Balancing somber overtones with an uplifting beat, Tregenza’s work speaks (or sings) for itself as High Command officially released “March of the Helldivers” for its soldiers in a post from the game’s official X account.
The New Anthem for Helldivers to March To
Player reactions to the new anthem are understandably enthusiastic, with many players saluting Tregenza’s work in typical Helldivers fashion.
Responses to the official announcement showcase how much love players continue to show the game in the aftermath of its latest update Escalation of Freedom being announced. It could be that Arrowhead Game Studios is looking to reward the loyalty of its community with more content down the line – something that many players would hope is more than just speculation.
Some players have very specific requests for the type of content they would like to see added to the game.
Others just chose to take a moment and appreciate just how much Tregenza’s latest composition reflects the game’s unique premise with some clever references to other popular elite soldiers.
Other players see the new track fitting perfectly with specific moments in Helldivers 2’s intense gameplay.
Many players heaped praise on how well the game’s design allows for excellent soundtracks and memorable moments, a strength that has seen Helldivers 2 be the first choice for many fans of third-person shooters.
It’s evident that the Helldivers 2 community is primed and ready for some new enemies and mission types to take on, which it would hope is on the cards in the near future.
Arrowhead Game Studios would do well to capitalize on its latest soundtrack and accompany it with some astounding reveals and inject some life into a game that has allowed it to scale new heights.
