 Summary 

 Setting 
Helldivers 2 is set in the 22nd century, 100 years after the events of the first game, Helldivers, known within Helldivers 2 as the "First Galactic War." "Super Earth" is a world organization that controls Earth and its intergalactic territories, describing itself as a "managed democracy." Super Earth had won against the Bugs, Cyborgs, and Illuminate. From the Illuminate, humans took faster-than-light technology and used that to conquer the Milky Way Galaxy during a period known as the "Great Democratization".

Reception
The game was very liked by game critics. Critics said that they liked the combat and multiplayer co-op of the game. However, the release was criticized because of the game crashing many times during play and the ability to connect to other players.

Helldivers 2 sold very well as well. It sold over 8 million copies since 15 March 2024, with over 450,000 simultaneous players on Steam.
