The success of Helldivers 2 won’t result in Sony’s acquisition of the Arrowhead studio, contrary to speculation.
The success of Arrowhead Game Studios has given Sony a really strong title for the beginning of 2024. To such an extent that Johan Pilestedt had to deny rumors about the full takeover of the devs of Helldivers 2 by PlayStation.
There have been no leaks from relatively trusted sources that could indicate Sony Interactive Entertainment’s interest in acquiring Arrowhead Studio. Well, except for one, but apparently the leak has already been deleted (via ResetEra / NeoGAF / Reddit). However, it’s not surprising that such rumors were circulating among the players.
