Despite the technical issues and mixed reviews, the strong sales of Helldivers 2 indicate that there is still a dedicated fanbase eagerly awaiting the game's release. Over 50,000 concurrent players were already playing the game on its launch day, showcasing the high level of anticipation surrounding the sequel.
