Alongside Horizon Zero Dawn, Until Dawn and other popular PlayStation games, the Starship Troopers-inspired multiplayer game will be getting its own film.With the state of Sony video game moviessuch as the Tom Holland vehicle Unchartedbeing rather dog-water, there is a worry that the film wont be very good. Since its announcement, fans have wondered whether or not developer Arrowhead is involved, and it turns out its not.Arrowhead isnt involved in Helldivers movieIn a statement on Twitter, Arrowhead COO Johan Pilestedt revealed that the Heldivers 2 studios is involved in the movies production, but they dont have final say on how faithful it will be. While the studio will be involved in the films development, they do not have the right to shut down ideas to make sure it stays faithful to the games.Ive been dodging this question, Pilestedt said in regards to being involved with the film. The short answer is yes. The long answer is that well see. We are not Hollywood people, and we dont know what it takes to make a movie. And therefore we dont, and shouldnt, have final say.While TV shows like The Last of Us have been revered for their adherence to the video games, the majority of video game adaptations do fail in their faithfulness to the source material. We all know what happened to Xboxs Halo adaptation, and the less said about any Uwe Boll movie the better.As it stands, Helldivers 2 is a strong template for a movie. Outside of the games basic lore, the series is pretty much a blank slate for a film that could make for some epic action. As long as Super Earths totalitarian regime is in place and everything looks right, we could be in for a fun time.For more Helldivers coverage, read about the games biggest urban legend finally being confirmed or check out the very strong enemy leak that has us quaking in our boots.Helldivers 2Platform(s):PC, PlayStation 5Genre(s):Action, Shooter, Third Person8VideoGamerSubscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share
