Helldivers 2 director confirms the ‘review bomb’ cape is very real and complete, but Arrowhead is waiting for the “right time” to drop it

It turns out the Helldivers 2 ‘review bomb cape’ is real after all, but Arrowhead is waiting until the right time to release it.

You’d think a single cape wouldn’t attract that much attention among a game’s community, but this isn’t just any ol’ cape. In the wake of Sony’s incredibly unpopular PSN account-linking mandate earlier this year, Helldivers 2 was reviewed bombed to hell on Steam. Because Steam lets review grades over weeks and months be viewed as a graph, Helldivers 2 players proposed the graph should be immortalized in a cape, and it’s an idea Arrowhead responded to with enthusiasm.
