Helldivers 2 is honoring fallen players during the battle for Malevelon Creek by issuing free capes to all players and marking April 3 as a special in-game holiday. After launching in February, Helldivers 2 has become a massive success for both Sony and Arrowhead Game Studios, knocking over many sales milestones and achieving player population numbers despite numerous issues through the first few weeks of the game's release. While the game offers plenty of emergent and dynamic moments through gameplay, part of the appeal is the constant flow of content and activities, which keeps the game feeling fresh.
