Helldivers 2 Support at Risk as Studio Closes
Toadman Interactive Shuts Down Multiple Offices
The fate of Helldivers 2 is now uncertain as its support studio, Toadman Interactive, closes multiple offices across Europe. Founded in 2013, the Swedish developer has played a crucial role in maintaining and updating various games, including Helldivers 2. However, the studio's recent struggles have led to the closure of offices in Stockholm, Visby, and Oslo, putting Helldivers 2 support at risk as the studio closes.
Impact on Helldivers 2 Support
Toadman Interactive has been a significant part of Helldivers 2 development over the past year, working closely with Arrowhead Game Studios to keep the game updated. The studio's closure now raises concerns about the future of Helldivers 2 support, especially with the loss of key offices and the uncertain status of the remaining Berlin branch. While the Berlin office remains active, it's unclear how long it will continue operations or how many of the 111 developers will keep their jobs.
Other Games Affected
Besides Helldivers 2, Toadman Interactive has contributed to several other titles, including Dead Island 2 and Warhammer: Vermintide 2. The closure of the studio’s offices could have broader implications for ongoing support and updates for these games as well. The game development community is facing a wave of closures, and Toadman Interactive's shutdown is the latest in a troubling trend.
Uncertain Future for Helldivers 2
While another Swedish studio, EAT Create Sleep, may continue to assist with Helldivers 2 content, the loss of Toadman Interactive is a significant blow. Helldivers 2 support is at risk as the studio closes, and it remains to be seen how this will impact the game's future updates and content.
As the gaming industry grapples with these challenges, the closure of Toadman Interactive marks the end of an era for a studio that has been instrumental in supporting some of the most beloved games of recent years. The community now waits to see how Arrowhead Game Studios will navigate this situation and ensure continued support for Helldivers 2.
