《絕地戰兵2》執行長曾呼籲玩家「先別買遊戲」，事後遭索尼官方打電話關切
去年爆紅的多人合作射擊遊戲《絕地戰兵2》（Helldivers 2），成為 PlayStation 史上銷售速度最快的遊戲。但不少人應該還記得，《絕地戰兵2》遊戲發行初期因大量玩家湧入，導致伺服器不堪負荷經常斷線。而《絕地戰兵2》開發商 Arrowhead Game Studios 執行長 Johan Pilestedt，近日在 GDC 2025 開發者大會演講中，回顧了這段混亂的時期。 根據外媒 PCGamer 報導，Pilestedt 提到《絕地戰兵2》上市後受獲得玩家熱烈歡迎，口耳相傳下，直接引爆玩家社群，讓當時的開發團隊措手不及。由於伺服器難以承受超乎預期的龐大玩家數量，導致大量的斷線情況和玩家抱怨，Pilestedt 更是直接在在 X（推特）上建議玩家可以等伺服器穩定後再購買。 然而言論卻讓 Pilestedt 坦言收到索尼的關注，在他發文後沒多久，馬上接到 PlayStation 高層的電話，質問他：「你到底在搞什麼鬼？」。雖然 Pilestedt 的立意良善，但此讓玩家等遊戲穩定後再購買的言論，很顯然與索尼傳統觀念背道而馳。儘管如此，《絕地戰兵2》的銷售並沒有受到影響，仍然成為了接續 1 月的《幻獸帕魯》後，2024 年第二款千萬等級的大作。 If you have no cash, get it later.

Johan Pilestedt is taking a sabbatical from Helldivers 2 after working 'around the clock' for 11 years, will move on to 'the next Arrowhead game' when he returns
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Arrowhead boss Johan Pilestedt is taking a break. The chief creative officer, who has been the face of Helldivers 2 through the ups and downs of its first year, will be on a sabbatical from the studio for "a while," and when he returns, he'll be working on a different game. "I know a lot of you are going to think 'por qué?' Pilestedt posted on X earlier today. "Well, while you have enjoyed Helldivers 2 for almost a year, I have been living it since early 2016, and with Helldivers [overall]—its since 2013." Helldivers 2's lengthy development might surprise some fans—the Sony-backed co-op shooter was not on the radar of most PC gamers before its release in February 2024, but the story of Helldivers dates back to the 2015 original, a top-down shooter made at a much smaller scale. Arrowhead spent years adapting the first game's core loop—stratagems, bugs, bots, the interactive galactic war—to a grandiose third-person shooter. "11 years of working 'around the clock' on the same IP has made me set aside family, friends and my lovely wife... and myself," Pilestedt continued. "I am going to take some time now to redeem what was lost from all of those that supported me for over a decade. "I am sure my friends at Arrowhead will do their utmost in the meantime to deliver amazing stuff to Helldivers 2." Back in May 2024, during a stretch of unpopular balance updates and the PSN sign-in fiasco, Pilestedt stepped aside from his CEO role at Arrowhead to focus completely on "games and the community." In the weeks after Helldivers 2's surprise Omens of Tyranny update in December, the chief creative officer has been talking about what comes next. Now, it's official. "When I'm back, I will start working on the next Arrowhead game." His first order of business as a man on sabbatical? Participating in a game jam with Arrowhead devs and founders.
