“We know gamers have been asking for this for some time and we are so excited to bring more Helldivers into our game," game director Mikael Ericksson stated in a press release. "We have so much more in store for the future months and years – and the more players we have the more stories we can tell! The fight for Super Earth has only just begun.”

Development of the port was handled by the PlayStation owned studio Nixxes Software.
