Helldivers 2 Offers Free Killzone Items After Pricing Backlash

Arrowhead Studios responds to community criticism by releasing the second wave of Killzone-themed content at no cost.

Helldivers 2 faced backlash after the high price of its first Killzone-themed premium content pack disappointed players.
Arrowhead Studios acknowledged the misstep, with CEO Shams Jorjani taking responsibility for the pricing decision.
In response, the studio released the second wave of Killzone collaboration items for free, earlier than originally planned.
The first Killzone pack remains available for purchase, but the availability period has been extended to ensure more players can access it.
Arrowhead plans to revisit its approach to pricing and premium content in future collaborations, informed by player feedback.
