HELLDIVERS 2 Helldviers 2 was released on February 8th, 2024 as a continuation of Helldivers made on the Autodesk Stingray engine which has been discontinued since 2018, meaning the developer team has to put in more effort to update the engine to their needs, optimize and fix bugs on their own, which makes the game even more impressive considering it's cinematics, mechanics and everything else. It is also the same engine that the original game was made on.
