Several countries that were restricted during the PSN controversy have had its restrictions lifted and players can purchase Helldivers 2.
Arrowhead Game Studios writes: "Our community continues to show us how strong we all are when united against the mindless Automatons and the scourge of the Terminid. As we stand here, on the eve of the Escalation of Freedom, we reflect on the 6 months since launch. We could never have predicted how far this game would go and how many Citizens would answer Super Earth’s call to arms!"
I love that the devs talk about the game in character. Lol
On topic:
New mission types, new enemies, and new DIFFICULTY… sounds good.
Helldivers 2 players share their strangest deaths, some of them are hilarious. What is the most unusual way you died?
Following the success of the latest Helldivers 2 Major Order, players have been tasked with continuing the liberation of Andromeda.
Good, we need more people fighting for SuperEarth
The countries added back are US territories, which shouldn't have been restricted in the first place. So far, this doesn't seem like a change to Sony's stance on countries that don't support PSN.
