	'''Helldivers 2''' is a cooperative third-person shooter developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Players take on the role of Helldivers - elite soldiers fighting to protect Super Earth from alien threats including the Terminids, Automatons and Illuminate factions.

	The game features a persistent Galactic War metagame where all players contribute to liberating planets across the galaxy. Its UI is built around a military sci-fi aesthetic with yellow highlights, angular panels and a diegetic ship hub that serves as the main menu.
