Fans of the popular game Helldivers 2 have banded together to create custom cape designs in the wake of the recent PSN account linking controversy. The community effort, dubbed “Operation Cleanup,” was sparked by Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt after highlighting an accidental cape design on Discord.
Inspired by the event, fans have been submitting their own unique cape designs, with one standout design called “The Prodigal Son” referencing the Steam reviews of Helldivers 2. This collective effort has not only united the community but has also helped improve recent game reviews from “Overwhelmingly Negative” to “Mixed.”
In a surprising turn of events, PlayStation recently reversed its PSN account linking policy, leading to a more positive atmosphere among fans and developers. Arrowhead Studios has even received support from the community, with flowers sent as a gesture of goodwill.
Despite the initial setback, fans are celebrating the success of Helldivers 2 and creating a lasting memory through the custom cape designs. The Helldivers 2 development team is now working on an official cape design inspired by the community submissions, further solidifying the bond between fans and developers. Stay tuned for more updates on this heartwarming story of unity and creativity within the gaming community.
